On one installation of Linux Mint 18.3 Cinnamon 64-bit, This message keeps popping up.
This message started popping up after some updates I did a few weeks ago. I use this installation to try things so I don't trash my main one, which I need to work properly.
Emptying the trash isn't sufficient other than for a very short time, then the message pops up again. How do I correct this? I tried 'Examine' but don't know enough about what I'm looking at to figure it out.
I expect the fix is simple but I'm a functional user, not an expert, on Mint. Thanks for any direction on this.

Re: Low Disk Space on "filesystem.root"
Thanks, Pjotr. That did the trick. Just cleaning the cache and removing Asian fonts was enough to not get the pop-up. I still went ahead and removed 24 of the redundant kernels, leaving 2 plus the active one. I can see I'll have to do the same with my main installation, too.
Many thanks for the help.

And most of my space was used by Timeshift stored in /timeshift/snapshots/, solved it temporary by erasing some of them and changed the schedule settings to keep less backups. I guess it's a better idea to store the Timeshift backups elsewhere but that's a different topic.
