First of all, install NCDU
NCDU stands for NCurse Disk Usage which is Linux program that displays Disk usage statistics in a Ncurse menu, which makes things easier where you don’t know exactly where to start
apt install ncdu
Use
dpkg-query
to find the largest packages and remove the ones you don't need anymore.dpkg-query --show --showformat='${Package;-50}\t${Installed-Size}\n' | sort -k 2 -n | grep -v deinstall | awk '{printf "%.3f MB \t %s\n", $2/(1024), $1}
If the application has been installed via the package manager, all you have to do is run
sudo apt-get remove <application_name>
sudo apt-get autoremove
#check partition sizes
df -h
#check directory size
du -s -h /var/log/
#check every directory and file sizes under a dir.
du -s -h /var/log/*
