I deleted some old kernel files from the boot partition, to try and free up some space, only to find out 5 minutes later that I should have used janitor or other appropriate program.
Now I get the error "disk full" or "gzip: stdout: No space left on device E: mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 gzip 1 update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-61-generic with 1. run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools exited with return code 1 dpkg: error processing package linux-image-extra-3.13.0-61-generic (--configure):" whenever I try installing something or fixing the problem.
I already tried this: Deleted old version of kernel to free up space - now getting nonstop errors but to no avail. The command "sudo apt-get --reinstall install linux-image-extra-3.13.0-61-generic" gives me the error "Internal Error, No file name for linux-image-extra-3.13.0-61-generic:i386", and the command "sudo touch linux-image-extra-3.13.0-61-generic" followed by "sudo apt-get purge" gives me the error "gzip: stdout: No space left on device E: mkinitramfs failure cpio 141 gzip 1 update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-3.13.0-61-generic with 1. run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools exited with return code 1 dpkg: error processing package linux-image-extra-3.13.0-61-generic (--configure):"
My boot partition has a total of 236M and 0M free.
Here is my 'df -h' result:

Here's the result from the "du -sk *|sort -n" command:

What else can I try?
