dev/sda2 full and ubuntu not booting

id flag

I am a Windows user with virtually no experience on Linux/ubuntu. However, I need to use a pc that runs on linux.

I just installed wine on the pc and when trying to restart the computer I begun to encounter problems in booting:

  1. I see the logo of the computer ('Dell') appearing,
  2. I get to the screen where I can choose the system I want to use (e.g. Ubuntu, advance, Windows)
  3. when I select ubuntu (or just wait for the pc to pick it automatially), the screen goes black with a blinking cursors on the top right and just stays like this for ever.

I suspect the problem is that when I tried to install wine I ran out of space in some partition. Indeed, before installing wine I was already getting a message about some lack of space (Fig 1).

FIG 1

When installing wine It said the space required would have been of something like 1 Gb, and I said ok.

After that, I start having problems.

Below you can see the system-smmary details.

How can I remove the wine files from the installation so that I can start the pc again?

Notes:

  • I can start the pc using windows but I do not see any of the software I had under linux
  • I am not sure if wine was able to install correctely/completely.

I did already tried to use "clean" from the recovery options but nothing happened Would I choose "root" from the recovery options, will I get into a command line from which I could do anything? is it from there that I can delete any wine related files that filled up the space?

PLease give me ignorant-proof instruction as I am not used to use command line.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
