I know that there are loads of similar posts but none of them apparently solved my problem, sorry!

gparted:

df -h:

As you can see my root partition (sda5) is full and I really can't understand of what! I already tried to clean my laptop with ubuntu-tweak, sudo apt-get autoremove --purge, apt-get clean, apt-get autoclean, I think that I removed also the old kernels, the trash and the root trash are empty...I don't know what else I might do! Thank to anyone who will try to help!

Use du -s or a graphical utility to find out which directories take up the space. (If necessary, boot the installation DVD or flash drive and mount the root partition in /mnt or somewhere else.) Proceed until you find the unexpectedly large or numerous files, and report back.

sudo du -ms /* 2>/dev/null | sort -nr

You can use du or ncdu.

For example du -sh * in the full partition :

# du -sh /*

It might take a while, and output some permissions errors if you are not root. It will display the size of each folder.

Or with ncdu :

# apt-get install ncdu
# ncdu /
