Still a greenee at Linux as there are so many different approaches/ways to do the same thing. When I attempt to update to Ubuntu 17 I receive:
"The upgrade has aborted. The upgrade needs a total of 317 M free space on disk '/var'. Please free at least an additional 55.4 M of disk space on '/var'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'."
How can I safely reduce the size of this directory?
