I have a dell inspiron 5423 laptop with 500GB of hard disk and 6gb of memory.

I had ubuntu 15.10. It was running very slow. I then decided to reinstall ubuntu 16.04. My ubuntu is working fast but always show me "your storage space is running out, you have 900 mb left".

I took the screenshot if i had my ubuntu installed properly or not. If there is problem how can i fix this. I see linux multiple times when doing fdisk -l. When i do df / -h, i get the following

/dev/sdb1 24G 18G 4.6G 80% /

I have attached the screenshot below with disk configuration(sorry for long information)enter image description here

  • Could you please remove second picture and add df -h command output instead of it.

  • As I understand you installed you 16.04 on your SSD disk, which is only 30 GB. I assume that your previous 15.10 was installed on another disk which is 500GB. If you do not need files from previous installation, you could remove volumes sda1 sda2 sda5 sda6 and install 16.04 again but to sda 500 GB drive

  • Please show the output of sudo parted -l. Edit your question to cut-and-paste the text output into it, adding four spaces to the start of each line to keep it legible, then add a comment pointing out the edit so that I'll be alerted to it.
