"Empty" trash bin completey

addendum to post# 252662 Sorry; I forgot to post the particulars---HP2000-210...Ubuntu 12.04LTS ...80Gb HDD

If you install trash-cli you can empty the trash using that.

If you are low on space can you please give the output of :

lsb_release -a; uname -a; dpkg -l | grep linux-image

Thanks.

You can also clear space with:

sudo apt-get clean

Afternoon Andrew:

   OK, here's the readout:

    What do you make of it? Also, am I using the latest version Linux kernel? I thought I'd installed it a few months ago, but now, I'm not so sure. I'll check out sudo apt-get clean. Any thoughts on why such a discrepancy between "Disk usage Analyzer" and the 'pop-up"?
THANX:
RICK

sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-3.8.0*
sudo apt-get --purge autoremove

Will get you a lot of space back.

You have the latest kernel for Trusty

Andrew:

   Ok, I thought I'd installed it in the springtime. Ah....BTW, I believe the command is just : sudo apt-get autoremove..... as sudo apt-get --purge autoremove came back "command not found". And those 2 command gave back roughly 2 Gb's.. Thank You Andrew. Got another issue, but I'm pretty sure it's a failing laptop battery. Oh, I've looked around (internet searches) and got a lot of varying info, but does 3 years sound like the "normal" life og a CMOS battery?
Take Care:
Rick

Should last longer but a hardware forum will be a better place to post. Please mark the question as solved

Thanks

Oh you already did. Nevermind :-D
