One more way you can solve the problem you are having with by freeing the hdd space. This case solve your problem a lil-bit then the harder way " Buying a new HDD "

This command will print the number of blocks used by each directory and file in the root. Most likely, the largest number printed is where you should be looking. You can then cd to that directory, and examine it. If it has sub-directories, you might use:

find . -type d -exec du -s {} \;

You can search for "large" files by cd'ing to a suspect directory ( or even starting at /, if you must), and typing

find . -size +5000 -print

will print the names of all files over 5,000 blocks (2,560,000) bytes. This may find many, many files, so you might want to refine it with larger numbers. You might also want to sort it:

find / -size +2000 -exec ls -s{} \; | sort -nr | more

Check the largest and dummy files or directories that you confirmed not using it and remove. Might save your time and your Expenses a bit.

NAME

       findfs - find a filesystem by label or UUID

SYNOPSIS

       findfs NAME=value

DESCRIPTION

       findfs  will  search the block devices in the system looking for a filesystem or partition with specified tag. The currently supported tags
       are:

       LABEL=<label>
              Specifies filesystem label.

       UUID=<uuid>
              Specifies filesystem UUID.

       PARTUUID=<uuid>
              Specifies partition UUID. This partition identifier is supported for example for GUID  Partition  Table (GPT) partition tables.

       PARTLABEL=<label>
              Specifies partition label (name). The partition labels are supported for example for GUID Partition Table  (GPT)  or  MAC  partition
              tables.

       If the filesystem or partition is found, the device name will be printed on stdout.

       The complete overview about filesystems and partitions you can get for example by

              lsblk --fs

              partx --show <disk>

              blkid

EXIT STATUS

              0      success
              1      label or uuid cannot be found
              2      usage error, wrong number of arguments or unknown option
