Dell Mini 9 reports operations stopped as no disk space left. I,ve deleted 2M of files to no avail. Why is it not reading the space correctly? How do I fix this?

a good graphical overview on what takes up the most space is baobab (it should be named visualize used space or something you can find it in applications-accessoires or via Alt+F2:baobab.

is it possible u got one of those early versiones, where not the whole partition is formatted?

Might be clear the cached deb packages files... can give you more space...

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications → Accessories → Terminal and type:
(if the system ask you a password give your user password, you will not see nothing when you type it, then press enter)

sudo apt-get clean

Then please also check how many kernels are installed... type:

dpkg -l | grep -i ^ii | grep -i linux-image

Copy and paste result here....

Then please also type:

df -h

and paste result here...

Hope this helps

When that happened to me i found that rebooting the machine fixed everything. I know its a very Windows solution - normally don't need to go that far in linux, usually just close and reopen the app is enough.

sudo apt-get clean

Helped a lot after that, so i recommend following the rest of Marcobra advice too.

Good luck with this.
