Running out of space in Virtual box instance

Question

I have a virtual box setup for Ubuntu 16.04. On metal exists Mac OS.

The drive on which virtual box image exists has 23+ GB available.

Following is the outputs I took from the Ubuntu terminal.

For command du -f:

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
udev            2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /dev
tmpfs           396M  5.9M  390M   2% /run
/dev/sda1        17G   15G  1.6G  90% /
tmpfs           2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs           5.0M  4.0K  5.0M   1% /run/lock
tmpfs           2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs           396M     0  396M   0% /run/user/124
tmpfs           396M     0  396M   0% /run/user/1000

Another output for the command lsblk:

NAME   MAJ:MIN RM  SIZE RO TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda      8:0    0   60G  0 disk 
├─sda1   8:1    0   17G  0 part /
├─sda2   8:2    0    1K  0 part 
└─sda5   8:5    0    3G  0 part [SWAP]
sr0     11:0    1 1024M  0 rom

Issue although it shows I should have 60GB memory, virtual box shouts it is full even if 20 GB is filled.

Any possible fixes?

Done. Removed screenshots and added the outputs by copy and paste — letsBeePolite, Aug 09 '17 at 19:28
See e.g. https://askubuntu.com/questions/5980/how-do-i-free-up-disk-space and https://askubuntu.com/questions/89710/how-do-i-free-up-more-space-in-boot and https://askubuntu.com/questions/298487/not-enough-free-disk-space-when-upgrading - if it was only for the OS, and other data were kept outside the VM 20 GB should be plenty. — Takkat, Aug 09 '17 at 19:55
@Takkat Agreed with your statement. What I am not sure is about? the command lsblk shows the hard disk to be 60 GB however, partitions add up to 20ish GB. — letsBeePolite, Aug 09 '17 at 20:00
