Ubuntu filesystem is running out of space? [duplicate]
This question already has an answer here:
Check how space is distributed on a Linux system
8 answers
So I am new to Ubuntu and everything seemed to be working fine till a few days ago.
Now I constantly get a dialog box saying the filesystem is running out of space.
Here is the system monitor screenshot. Ubuntu is on /dev/sda5
I am aware there are other similar questions but the answers seem very technical. Can someone help with this considering I am very new to Ubuntu.
Should I just do a fresh install after backing up the drive?
TIA
cat /procs/mount output:
16.04 filesystem

/dev/sda5 is only 20GB. If you have some files to delete, do it, otherwise, backup, and allocate more space.

@mikewhatever I can't figure out what is taking the space.

@Sid You can check withdu -d 1 / 2>/dev/null | sort -nr. Just don't post images of program windows, copy paste the actual text output you want us to see.

Try running JDiskReport (http://www.jgoodies.com/freeware/jdiskreport/). The developer says "JDiskReport enables you to understand how much space the files and directories consume on your disk drives, and it helps you find obsolete files and folders. The tool analyses your disk drives and collects several statistics which you can view as overview charts and details tables."
You could also try running BleachBit (https://www.bleachbit.org) which will allow you to preview and/or delete files. The developer says "With BleachBit you can free cache, delete cookies, clear Internet history, shred temporary files, delete logs, and discard junk you didn't know was there."
