I get the red symbol with the white line through it at the top of my screen.

It says Error:BrokenCount>0

Now i go into the Synaptic Package Manager and click on the Broken Dependecies and get this:

linux-image-generic-pae 3.2.0.52.62

Now I know the problem occured when I tried to update and didn't have enough storage space in order to do it.

How do I go about fixing it and getting Ubuntu healthy again?

I followed rajagenupula instructions. However, the issue still remains.

Does having a USB memory stick plugged in cause problems?

Terminal reported back with this:
