sudo apt-get clean only cleans the apt-cache (afaik).
You have a diskspace problem maybe?

Anyway.. open a terminal-window and start typing..

sudo apt-get update

You get any errormessages?

I don't get it, you want to upload updates, or download them?

I think he wants to clear the ram memory?

if you want to clean your computer, there's "sudo apt-get autoremove" that removes unneeded packages.

no error messages when I run sudo apt-get update

download updates sorry for the confusion

I'll explain again: I'm trying get updates from update manager and it says "the upgrade needs a total of 498M free space on disk '/'. Please free at least an additional 495M of disk space on '/'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'." I ran sudo apt-get clean n it did nothing. please help
