As a very new member of the Ubuntu community can I make a couple of observations?
First: I understand the statement "Insufficient space in /boot" however: when I used the instruction that is supposed to clear space [sudo apt-get clean] it either didn't or didn't clear enough. So I thought I'd take the direct approach. I'm an Administrator, so I loaded the Files application and went looking, but when I found what I thought was the /boot folder the system would not allow me to delete some older files (looked like downloads from earlier updates). Maybe the error message can include a solution that tells me how to delete the old files and/or increase the space of the /boot folder? Or even where to find the /boot folder?
My second comment is that maybe once the installation of an update has successfully completed then the downloaded installation files could be deleted?
I've tried limiting the download to smaller sections of the current update but nothing seems to install.
Quick update: I thought I'd take one more look at the search engine and I found another command to remove junk from the boot (sudo apt-get autoremove) and this tells me it removed 300MB but the install still says it needs 30MB more than the available limit...

How do I clean up the /boot folder?
