you can run the command "apt-get clean" to clear out the downloaded packages.
sometimes when using limited free space the downloaded packages can hold a large portion on the disk.
Using this command will clear the downloaded packages. (system cache). After this just do a "apt-get update" and "apt-get upgrade" normally this should let you upgrade the system.

Note!! these are commands are for the command line.

If you still have to little free space you can issue a "du -sh *" in the root dir which will show you the disk space every directory uses. This will give you a hint on what is eating up the disk-space.

use sudo apt-get autoclean
and sudo apt-get autoremove
to remove all your older versions of softwares which are still sitting on the pc
