Error: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/

Question

I am trying to use Ubuntu 20.04 in Oracle Virtualbox. I am unable to use pip or pip3 as it raises an error:

Error:pip3 command not found

I tried installing, but failed.

$ sudo easy_install pip3
Error: easy_install command not found.

When I tried using: `

$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip
Error: Package 'python3-pip' has no installation candidate.

Then I ran this command :

sudo apt-get update

Then when I ran the following command I got an error:

$ sudo apt-get upgrade
ERROR: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/

The output of df -H command is:

Please help, I want to install pip on my virtual machine (ubuntu)

Well, you only have 0.4 G available on /cow, and the system needs to download 579MB. So that's not going to work. — Jos, Jul 28 '20 at 07:33
Does this answer your question? How do I increase the hard disk size of the virtual machine? and Resizing Virtual drive — karel, Jul 28 '20 at 07:36
