(Get the code!)
According to https:/
sudo apt-get install bikeshed
To run it you will need to do
sudo purge-old-kernels
You can confirm if it (and any other tidying up actions) have helped by comparing the output of
df -h
before and after you run the command. I usually see my /boot Mounted on point go from ~100% Use to ~50% Use. If you have prombles with disk space on other file-systems then
sudo apt-get autoremove
may help you. After that I would recommend that you try running the Disk Usage Analyser program. It provides a relatively intuitive GUI that helps locate where most of your disk space is being used. It will then be up to the operator to work out what files can and cannot be removed in an attempt to free space. I would advise that you do not remove anything you do not know the source or use of. Hopefully some searching can aid in identifying where most files come from though.
