    did you clean /var/cache/apt directory, all packages that you installed via APT, is located there.

    For reclaimin disk space, you have to read this:
    Debian Linux remove unwanted packages and files to reclaim disk space

    Execute this
    Code:
    su
    apt-get clean all
    Post the output of following commands here
    Code:
    df -h
    du -h -s ~
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Glad to help you.
    Output of both commands seems Ok.
    one should execute apt-get clean all command after every update.
