Welcome to the forums!

You can use gparted to absorb any free space into your existing partitions. The Parted Magic LiveCD should also be able to make an easy job out of this task.

You could delete your packages cache if you want to lighten your system a bit, but you shouldn't necessarily delete the folder because it will be used again the first time you need to install any new software, or updates.

4GB is cutting it pretty close if you want to run Ubuntu without space issues. Note that the first time you try to boot and are out of space, the system will refuse to boot. There are some smaller distros available that you could install if you wish, so that you won't constantly be so close to the edge of being out of space.
