OK So you managed to clear a little space as you said... it seems a fair
bit is still being used up in your home partition

How about the output of this, to check which folders are using up the most
space, starting from home directory

    ls -A "$HOME" | while read filename; do echo "$filename"; done

Don't need to post the result here - you will be able to see which is
biggest folder and decide where you need to start looking
