It could be that your systemd log files are huge; check the size of /var/log/journal

You can limit log size by modifying /etc/systemd/journald.conf
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...nal_size_limit

See man journald.conf

That's what mine looks like

They are folders -- the logs are in the one named with a long alphanumeric string.

How big is the folder on the left?

Mine is 123.7MiB ATM.

If yours is several GiB then that's why systemd is taking so long to boot -- delete the contents (if you have no outstanding issues on your system) and modify your /etc/systemd/journald.conf to limit the size as set out in my link above and described more fully in man journald.conf

Yep,it is the logs folders: 456.0 MiB ,12 files,0 subfolders

I'd like to erase that folder...

Just delete the contents.

Make sure your system is functioning properly first though...

Yes I'm pretty sure it will all be re-created by systemd; just move them to a different location if you're worried -- you can always just move them back if there's a problem.
