I’m having a big problem with my computer, I’m trying to free spaces to remove packages I don’t need. I tried everything I find on how to fix this problem, but they don’t work.

I kept having this error saying:

“You don’t have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/“

But I got “0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded”

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong.

You can try it with sudo apt-get clean, which will remove all unneeded .deb files from /var/cache/apt/archives and that may be enough space to uninstall unneeded packages to free up even more space.

You can also empty your trash and delete other files you don't need.

Additionally Ubuntu comes with a program called "Disk Usage Analyzer" (baobab in the terminal), I believe, which can help you find large files and folders you maybe didn't even remember having.
