Dell Mini 9 reports operations stopped as Ubuntu says no disk space left. I,ve deleted 2M of files to no avail and Ubuntu says I only have 636KB available. What is using up all the space? 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-
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.
Regards from
Tom :)

If you are still having trouble with this then please post it as a new question. Only the most recent questions tend to get looked at so posting/reposting a question just before america arrives online gives the best chance of getting a good few answers.
If the problem has been resolved then please follow the link to the forum thread and mark it as Solved.
Good luck and many regards from
Tom :)
