HDD Inexplicably Full

[Rafiq Hajat]

Hello folks,
Yes t'is me returning after a lengthy absence ( I was on the road)
with a really weird problem. My hard drive is suddenly reporting zero
free space and refuses to acknowledge all my attempts to free up space
by deleting videos and surplus music.

I know that I had at least 30gb free but this has appeared out of the
blue to my complete perplexity.
I'm using Karmic 9.10 on a Compaq 6829s laptop and, aside from a few
ongoing hassles with grub2, have generally been quite happy with it. I
don't know what exactly info you would need to get to the bottom of
this quandary and will humbly await your guided instructions to
acquire the relevant data to assist diagnosis.
I am anxiously standing by awaiting your helping hands.
