Dev sda clean files blocks

This is an error that is shown in a Linux system which can be shown due to several reasons. This video shows how the error was caused/fixed by reviewing the storage size of the Linux partition.

FIRST STEP: 1:06 Insert a bootable USB (with Ubuntu installed), start machine and boot to this USB - then you will be presented with the GRUB screen as shown in the video.

Note this is a dual boot system - Windows 10 and Linux Ubuntu

I realised the reason this happened in my device was because of the storage(it was very less). So what I did is open linux in recovery mode(by advanced ubuntu options) and then use clean option and resume. Then the login password option came and after logging in I deleted the extra stuff and cleared some space by using the disk usage analysis. Rn it looks like it is working okay. Just make sure you keep your storage right. It is easy to manipulate storage in linux

I had this problem but it was not a full disk storage issue. I used the installation USB with the "Try Ubuntu" option, went to disks and repaired the filesystem on the main partition. This solved it.

There is actually an alternative solution without using the USB approach:
Enter GRUB mode (with Esc and Spacebar) and start in the advanced options the recovery mode. There you can delete unnecessary files as the root user and reboot

In my case, I needed to remove my windows space, so I formatted it to ext4 and then increased the space on linux drive. Pretty cool. Thanks

[isaacjahncke]

Fantastic, thanks! Although for me I don’t have sub-partitions, so I just shrunk my Windows partition and grew my Ubuntu partition in two steps.

[abhishekbhati]

Thanks a lot. This proved to be extremely useful for saving the system I was using for my work.

You are a legend! Honestly, without this video, I would not have been able to sort the issue out. Thank you so much for this :)

Sit Logical partition is not getting selected. Why so...? This is not working for me... The error is still existing.

[Cocacola]

My linux partition has 427GB of unused space and I don't have a windows partition from where I can take space... the linux partition already uses all of it. help?

[nicolasgutierrez]

Thanks you so much. You saved my doctoral thesis!!! <3

[installationuses]

But in my case,
146 GB free space is there,
91 GB used
237 GB total size SSD

No, dual boot.
only ubuntu 20 is there.
how to solve ?

[lorenzowailer]

My screen is frozen on that black menu, I don't know what to do, it just doesn't close. It says Ubuntu: clean (numbers) files, (numbers) blocks

[qmobilenoirs]

You haven't showed you to merge that free space to the ubuntu partition you've just showed the process doin it.

[ArthurET]

This can't work cuz i don't know why Ubuntu is on a separate drive but i have only one drive so i don't know what to do to solve this issue

[SolutionsofTechnology]

bro what's your name?
I have learnt a course named Android N development from Udemy. There the instructor's voice is too much similar to your's

[ziadyousef]

Thank you so much bro, l have been struggling all day.

[dpaleria]

hey mate, I know I'm too late but thanks a ton. You literally saved me <3.

How do you merge unallocated partition into the existing sda partition? My pc shows only to decrease partition size not increase it, let alone merge them. Please help.

[jatingoyal]

My screen stuck and showing dev/sda2: clean

[ogechukwuokafor]

Quick question. Would this problem be solved if I could allocate more space to the Ubuntu partition via the windows GUI?
