I put an Image of Ubuntu 18.04.3 onto a 32GB SD card. It came with no desktop, so I am trying to install xubuntu. When I try to install it using sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop I get the following error:

You don't have enough free space in `/var/cache/apt/archives` 

I tried sudo apt-get autoclean sudo apt-get clean and different variants of sudo apt-get autoremove but nothing worked.

$ df -h

I'm new to linux, but why is my root (and filesystem in general) so small if my SD card is 32GB? And is there a way to increase root through the command line(maybe fdisk)? I don't have another linux machine that I can run Gparted on. But I do have a Windows laptop that could possibly do Gparted Live. I've never done that before so if that is the best solution, tips to get started would be much appreciated.

Don't know if it matters but I'm following the instructions here Raspberry Pi 4 Ubuntu Server/ Desktop 18.04.3 Image (unofficial) to try and get Ubuntu up and running xubuntu on my Rpi 4.

Don't know why, but after reimaging my sd card about 10 times, it finally decided to allocate root partition 29GB
