My OS is Ubuntu 15.10. More than 200M disk space was to set to /boot when I installed this OS in my laptop. But now I can not upgrade any softwares ,kernel included.

The terminal told me that no space is left in directory /boot. When checking the properties of file /boot, it displays that only around 60M are used but with no space left, as shown in the picture60.7M used, 0 free space. When I check this issue with the tool Disks, it shows as this space usage shown by Disks. When I check in terminal with the command df -h, it shows that no space is available.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Thanks a lot.

I figure out why.

There is a invisible file .Trash-0 in /boot. All the kernels that have been downloaded are in this invisible file, but I don't know why this happens. The invisible file occupies all the rest space except for that for the visible files in /boot. 200M space is available after I remove the files in /boot/.Trash-0. I can now update the kernel.

I should have tried more before posting this question.
