The main question is how to make space in root (/). After this I want to resize the root partition, this topic can be found on: How to resize partitions? or elsewhere.
I'm a little bit confused. No command seems to work for there is no space. I tried some random easy-way solutions but the problem persists. Here is the description of what I did:
1) It started giving me advices of “Little space on root, try uninstall software”
2) I removed some, and the Software Update continued working.
3) Eventually the root filled and now and for over two weeks the update software isn't working. I forced to upgrade with
sudo apt-get update
and sudo apt-get upgrade
and not working. It gives me this message (auxiliar repositories):
4) At some point I tried to do some random reading on forums and enter command like this:
sudo apt-get clean
and gave me a file in: /var/cache/apt/archives/lock.txt and problems with dependencies, repositories and dpkg.
5) When I run sudo apt-get -f install
this is the current exit:
$$$$$$$$:~$ sudo apt-get -f install
[sudo] password for $$$$:

And continues with 2369 problems like this (all packages not found?)
6) Over this point I realized I had the root full and needed to liberate space and maybe extend the size of partition, for which I read I will need some 200 MB of free space. I don't remember how but I entered two commands that told me how much used/total space I had, noting it was full.
7) And now when I try to not mess with commands I don't really know (late), trying to uninstall software gives me this exit:
$$$$$$$$$:~$ sudo apt-get --purge remove openshot
[sudo] password for $$$$:

Tal vez quiera ejecutar «apt-get -f install» para corregirlo:
Los siguientes paquetes tienen dependencias incumplidas:
linux-headers-generic : Depende: linux-headers-3.13.0-61-generic pero no va a instalarse
E: Dependencias incumplidas. Intente «apt-get -f install» sin paquetes (o especifique una solución).
Any suggestions? I have installed programs not found on Software Center and took me some time and effort, I would like not to format or reinstall Ubuntu if possible. Thanks in advance.
