Hi and Welcome !
Is it a fresh installation? Boot up in Single User Mode and run fsck on / partition.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

You should not run fsck on mounted partition. Either boot up in Single User Mode or use LiveCD of any Linux distro and execute fsck command.
