The computer has only 0 bytes disk space remaining

Question

I have installed Ubuntu 16.04 a month ago alongside Windows 10, so I don't know much about Ubuntu. I got the following error:

The computer has only 0 bytes disk space remaining.

The error says to remove unused programs or by moving files to external disk, but how do I do that?

Here is the output of df :

Here is the output of df -i :

Please open a terminal, run the commands df and df -i, and copy-and-paste the complete output of both commands into your question. — user535733, Sep 22 '18 at 15:54
Your Ubuntu partition seems to be full. See https://askubuntu.com/questions/2045/how-to-determine-where-biggest-files-directories-on-my-system-are-stored to determine what it's full of, so you can make informed choices of what to delete. — user535733, Sep 22 '18 at 18:07
Keep going. Which subfolder insider /var? Which subfolder inside that? — user535733, Sep 22 '18 at 18:23
Find our what problem is filling your log...and fix it. Normal daily log rotation will get rid of the big logfiles. — user535733, Sep 22 '18 at 18:42
How can i delete the syslog files ? The move to trash option is greyed out . — Hass, Sep 22 '18 at 18:47
Have you read the log(s) to determine what the real problem is? — user535733, Sep 22 '18 at 20:39
Possible duplicate of Very large log files, what should I do? From OP's comment above it seems to be an issue of huge log file(s). — pomsky, Sep 25 '18 at 05:34
I would run sudo apt autoremove to get at least a bit free space. then install ncdu via sudo apt install ncdu and run ncdu /. ncdu is a small interactive disk-usage helper. It might help understanding which folders are big ... and therefor be a good starting point — dufte, Sep 25 '18 at 08:36
