cant install new packadges-low disk space

Asked by nunon

Hello all,
I have done some research here before post this. but I still could not understand why I am having the low disk space problem.
I will try to be as clear possible and will be grateful for your help.

I have a dual boot with windows 7 installed and Ubuntu.

I Created several partitions:
- 1* 255Mb -grub
- 1* 45G -windows
- 1* 8G -Ubuntu
- 1* 62G -shared files with windows/storage

Since I installed and partitioned Ubuntu i receive low disk warnings, and now I cant install any more packadges,
I already did in the terminal the procedure (df -h ; sudo apt-get clean ; sudo dpkg -l | grep -i linux-image) *The result is bellow.

It says I am using 96% of the /dev/sda8 (7G) BUT when I double click in my 8G Ubuntu partition says I am only using 127.8 Mb and have 7,2G free. I am really confused...! down bellow is the image from terminal and a print screen from my 8G partition.

Terminal:
nn@nn-Latitude-E6420:~$
nn@nn-Latitude-E6420:~$ df -h

sudo apt-get clean

Will help. Also clear your browser cache and so forth.

sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-3.16.0-30-generic

Done. thank you 'actionparsnip'.

I am still trying to understand why do I get the information that my Ubuntu 8G partition is almost empty (from the 'explorer') and the information that is almost full from the system... its the same partition...

There might be files in the trash bin(s). These are counted in df -h, but not counted in the nautilus display.

Can you help with this problem?
