    Question Not Enough Space /Archives/

    Hi,
    it seems i run always in the same problem :

    My situation :
    (Starting from a fresh Kali Linux installation)
    I am running kalinux on the lastest Oracle VirtualBox Manager (Pic 1 with Spec) on Asus UX305CA running Windows 10.

    Everytime I try to update/upgrade my system (apt update/ apt upgrade) I get the problem :
    E : You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/. (Pic 2 )

    The Resolution :

    I have increase the size of my virtualBox from 15gb to 40 gb.
    I have tryed to sudo apt-get clean and auto-remove (even if i know that sudo dont mean anything for Kali anyway)
    I have followed everything from : http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/...t-archives
    But if i type :

    Code:
    apt-config dump | grep Periodic

    Nothing happend. If, however i just type apt-config dump, i see the list but nowhere maxsize.

    Conclusion :
    So I am stuck with a machine that i cannot upgrade for some reason. (It work for the msfconsole but not with the viel)

    So if anyone can help, I would really be thankfull.

    Thank You

    Have you checked the contents of /var/cache/apt/archives? You may need to manually delete some files in there

    Anything in there when you list the contents of the directory?

    Re-installing Kali Linux with a graphical installation did the trick ! The problem is close
