I can't install any updates due to this disk space problem. Having reviewed various blog posts on this subject, I've understood that it has something to do with an accumulation of old kernels, but the solutions are not straightforward. Can anyone guide me to a tailor-made solution for my system (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) ?

Output of sudo parted:

thanks for pointing out that an answer exists. I have read that answer but I wasn't confident about following the instructions, so I would appreciate one of you walking me through what needs to be done.

    For a start, update your question with the output of df -h | grep -v loop and sudo parted -l so we can see what space you have, – Soren A Nov 02 '19 at 11:46

  • That was output of df -h | grep -v loop. Output of sudo parted is too long for this comments field. How can I show you that? – Mons Nov 02 '19 at 11:57
