free up disk space

Can you open a terminal (key combination Ctrl+Alt+T, or from applications menu), and cut and paste these commands?

sudo fdisk -l
mount
df -h

This will tell us your partition layout on your drive, and will let us understand why you are running out of space.

You can also erase the package cache with this command

sudo apt-get clean

which will free up ~50-200 MB

You could use Applications->Accessories->Usage Disk Analyzer, to tell us which folders use most of disk space.

Thanks, I think clean did the job I now have 42G free space
