    As a point of fact, the FAQ clearly states that this site is for professional systems administrators. Given that you don't know how to delete files it's a pretty good guess that you are not a professional administrator. Jan 30, 2013 at 5:42

It's true. You ran out of disk space. Delete some unnecessary files and then try again.

You can delete files with the command

rm /path/to/file

You can delete folder with the parameter -r

rm -r /path/to/folder

Might be your home folder that is using a lot of space.

With

du -sh /*

You can see what folder is using the most space.

With

ls -lh /path

You can see the file sizes.
