I have installed the Ubuntu version 9.04, Jaunty Jackelope, using a rewritable disk, also know as a CD-RW. I had deleted any information from the disk, making it blank, and then had great Internet, after installing a few plug-ins. I then fully installed Ubuntu, got rid of Vista, and then proceeded to have great Internet. I then, not on purpose, filled up the blank space on the hard drive with Ubuntu operating system files and information. Soon, my internet slowed down. I then proceeded to reinstall plugins, but that didnt work. Now, my computer cannot download a single file, because all of the disk space and memory is used up. I did a disc space scan, and found only the tiniest shred of a megabyte of free space. I have no idea why Ubuntu would take up so much space, and slow down the computer so much. Also, because of this problem, I cannot download anything to help me. What do I do? Please be very specific.

solution is BleachBit
BleachBit deletes unnecessary files to free valuable disk space, maintain privacy, and remove junk. Rid your system of old clutter including cache, temporary files, cookies, and broken shortcuts. Designed for Linux systems, it wipes clean Bash, Beagle, Epiphany, Firefox, Flash, Java, KDE, OpenOffice.org, Opera, RealPlayer, rpmbuild, VIM, XChat, and more.
download from here http://bleachbit.sourceforge.net/download.php
Now you have bleachbit_0.2.0-1_all_ubuntu810.deb package.Install this .deb package using the following command
sudo dpkg -i bleachbit_0.2.0-1_all_ubuntu810.deb
This will complete the installation.
or
You download this .deb file in your desktop and double click to install.
