  • Use uname -r to get the release # of the current kernel. Delete NO file/dir with this string as part of its name. Look for (with ls -l) old files in /var/log/, /boot/, /home/$USER and delete them manually. Then sudo apt autoremove. This is why many people have separate partitions for /, /home', /boot`.

Your hard drive is full.



As df does not show any other empty space, you will need to delete something.



First remove not needed data from your /home, e.g. you could move Pictures, Videos and Music to an external drive or remove them you don't need anymore. Remove files in ~/.thumbnails folder. You might use bleachbit to gain more space (it tries to delete cached files, etc.).



After that, try:



sudo apt autoremove
sudo apt autoclean


But all this is just a temporary solution, 25G is just very little space for OS and data.



I see two possibilities:



  • Install less programs and keep less data on your drive.

or



  • Install a second hard drive for /home.

    Looks like you need to delete some files anywhere under /. Your df -h output shows that is full.



    You might find du (disk usage) helpful in seeing what specific directories have a lot of data, maybe more than expected.



    Often /var/log and ~/Downloads accumulate a lot of unnecessary data.



    Sometimes journalctl - the systemd log facility, uses a lot of memory unexpectedly. The amount it uses can be controlled:



    Retain only the past two days:



    sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=2d


    Retain only the past 500 MB:



    journalctl --vacuum-size=500M

              Retain only the past two days:



              sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=2d


              Retain only the past 500 MB:



              journalctl --vacuum-size=500M
