Please open a terminal by pressing ctrl +alt + t then type or better to avoid errors, copy and paste single row a time from here and paste it into the terminal:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y purge $(dpkg --get-selections | awk '((/^linux-/) && (/[0-9]\./) && (!/'"`uname -r | sed "s/-generic//g"`"'/)) {print $1}')
sudo apt-get install update-manager

and then to check how many space do you have after clean type:
sudo df -h

then to uprade your system, type:

sudo do-release-upgrade
