    I need help to shuffle some partition space

    my dropbox keeps telling me that it can't sync because there is not enough space on my HDD. I reset to sync on only a few folders, but same warning. according to the screen that shows momentarily at boot, 15.10 is on sda3. I am satisfied enough with 15.10 that I don't mind deleting 14.10 and/or 15.04 to free up space. I have a G-parted disk if it comes to that. I know so little about what I am seeing that I haven't touched anything yet. Thanks in advance.

    disks do not look full ,,,,,according to that partition manager shot any way.
    except that swap partition is showing more used than it is ,,,,,,,

    boot up and run
    Code:
    df -h
    in a terminal and post the output.

        ok ,,,,in post#1 you think /dev/sda3 is 15.10 ,,,,,,,,,the "df -h" you just posted is from a system on dev/sda6 ,,,,, is this the system that dropbox wont sync to ?

        the system you are on hear only has 2GB free ,,,so if your dropbox sync is larger,,,,,,,,,,what is on /dev/sda4 ?
