I tried to recover my external HDD data as it got corrupted, and I succeeded, but now those folders are in primary memory with no permissions and my system booting saying disk space 0. I am using Ubuntu 14.04. Login screen takes password and then endless wait...
What should I do?
ctrl+Alt+F1 Will take you to the console login. Make some space from the console and reboot, you will be able to use the graphic environment.
You will need to move or remove files and folders. If you are not familiar with the command line, type:
man rm
man mv
df -h shows the disk space and du -sh afolder/* the space taken by files inside afolder
