I recently used deluge to download a torrent but forgot to set the location as a USB drive so my hard drive had 0bytes remaining, I deleted the file and used force quit to kill deluge as it was hanging. Unfortunately I pressed the mouse too soon and killed unity which caused the system to crash. Now I can't boot, I get a "couldn't get size" error on a black screen. In recovery the hard drive is showing as "103gb - 98% used, 0% free". I don't think I removed the file from deluge and normally if you delete a file from a hard drive but don't delete it from your torrent client, the free space does not show up, it only shows up when you remove it from the torrent client. So I figured this could be the problem. I removed deluge from root shell prompt, hoping it would free up the missing 5gb but it didn't. I've used clean and fcsk but I can't free up any more space, I did free up 167mb of space by removing un-needed packages but I still don't have any free space. I tried running Nautilus to remove any remaining files from deluge, but it won't run, can't remember what the exact error was but it couldn't run a display server or something, I guess cos of the lack of space ? I've been trying to fix this for days, can anyone help ? Thanks

you can try to flash ubuntu os in a pen drive and then use live ubuntu option at the boot time , after that go to the partition where u have placed the files and delete them. now try to boot from your normal os.
