Now we see the violence inherent in the sysadmin!
sudo apt clean
That left only 32% of / used.
Note /var/cache/apt/archives is only a cache. If the system wants any
of these, it should be able to find them in a repo.
More recent Debian seems to have made automatic cleanup the default.
Is this something older or more Ubuntu-like?
And really it makes little sense to keep a .deb you're only going to
install once!

I like to keep the debs around until after I have verified
that the next version of a package hasn't borked me.
Hugh, how many kernels are on your system?
Also, what does `deborphan` say.
You can try `dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii` and eliminate cruft.
Finally, nothing beats `for i in bin boot etc home lib opt root usr var;
do du -hs $i; done`. Do the results seem appropriate?
Logging is often the culprit. Check systemd with `
journalctl --disk-usage` and reduce it if needed.
