You probably need to increase free storage gong forward, either by purging more (maybe much more) or migrating to a larger device. Running nearly full negatively affects performance and, in the case of SSDs, service life.

I had a little too less storage left and then found that debian had piled up older kernel versions that i don't need anymore. (It seems kernels never get deleted automaticly.)

Deleting the obsolete ones together with all dependent packages like headers and linux-kbuild freed nearly 30 Gigabyte !
