    Problem with update

    I am trying to run a update/upgrade, but the system tells me that theres no free space.

    Code:
    You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/.
    Running df -H shows this:

    Code:
    Filesystem                         Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
    tmpfs                              403M  2.8M  400M   1% /run
    /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv  106G  102G     0 100% /
    tmpfs                              2.1G     0  2.1G   0% /dev/shm
    tmpfs                              5.3M     0  5.3M   0% /run/lock

    /dev/sda1                          1.2G  6.4M  1.2G   1% /boot/efi
    tmpfs                              403M  4.1k  403M   1% /run/user/0

    Run:
    Code:
    sudo apt clean
    sudo apt --purge autoremove
    You may also want to remove old kernels if you have multiple. I also suggest you clean data from $HOME as your /home folder in part of the root file system rather than it's own.

    You need to do some housekeeping

    I have already tried the cleaning, but same issue.
    However, I did not check the home folder. Wow... Lots of data!
    I did some testing of a backup script. Forgot to turn it of.
    There was several months of backup data, not overwriting, but new folders multiple times.

    Case resolved
