So I’ve been trying to update/upgrade my system/applications for the last few days and it has been erroring, I ignored it and now when I try to sudo apt upgrade it tells me that I have “Low Disk Space on “boot” The volume “boot” has only 0 bytes disk space remaining.”
What happens when I run sudo apt upgrade:
user@user:~$ sudo apt upgrade
