I have just installed crouton on a Chromebook to begin to work in Linux. I am struggling on freeing up some disk space for some reason and was looking for some help. Here is the output for
df -h:

none 940M 0 940M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
I am really only looking to use this for some programming and not much else. If anyone sees/has any advice on how to clean some stuff up I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

- Run a

run this command to evaluate the disk usage and exclude the mount directory, sort from largest file and pipe to less for readability
sudo du . -ha --exclude=./mnt | sort -hr | less
manually delete some of the largest files based on dates, usage, etc
remove unused packages
sudo apt-get autoremove
clean up the cache if using graphic environments
sudo du -sh /var/cache/apt
clean apt cache
sudo apt-get clean
clean up thumbnails cache in case of graphic environment
rm -rf ~/.cache/thumbnails/*
