Hi Judy, I searched a long time before finding this to solve the problem. You go in COMPUTER then BOOT. You find packages with numbers similar to 3.13.0-46. The end number, here 46... you keep the two last ones to make sure, only the last one is actually necessary, and you erase the others by doing: Ctrl-Alt-T to get you in a terminal and then you type:
sudo apt-get --purge remove linux-image-3.13.0-46 You type carefully the exact syntax of the formula and it should give you the free space you need. I do it every 3-4 months.
