hi,
but before install i use to have a lot space... and now the hdd is full...
also, i think the problem is that the installation is in / instead of /home
where there are much more space.

thanks anyway
Yeray

All the directories where stuff is installed to is fixed in Linux/Ubuntu, so it uses /boot, /lib, /usr, /var, /etc, .... and so on. /home is reserved for user home directories, i.e. your personal settings and documents.

Therefore you will need to somehow make more space available on the disk-partition that holds the other directories, Ubuntu can not simply use /home by itself.
