That left only 32% of / used.
Note /var/cache/apt/archives is only a cache. If the system wants any of these, it should be able to find them in a repo.
More recent Debian seems to have made automatic cleanup the default.
Is this something older or more Ubuntu-like?
And really it makes little sense to keep a .deb you're only going to install once!

You can try `dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii` and eliminate cruft. Finally, nothing beats `for i in bin boot etc home lib opt root usr var; do du -hs $i; done`. Do the results seem appropriate? Logging is often the culprit. Check systemd with ` journalctl --disk-usage` and reduce it if needed. -- Michael Galea
