Hi ... I installed Ubuntu 9.10 from Windows 7 and given 17GB default space for Ubuntu.

I installed different programs and ...now I ran out of disk space when I tried to install Oracle XE.

I tried GParted from Live CD to allocate the space, but it shows the complete partition as single partition for Windows and Ubuntu of which I could not able to allocate the specific space to Ubuntu.

Please help me on this as I don't want to reinstall the Ubuntu again as there's a lot of office work has been done.

run in terminal
Code: sudo apt-get clean

This will clear the apt cache so it will release disk space.

Below is the error I am getting:
