Try cleaning up space through a live usb of any distro.
This is such an important thing to learn when using linux. If you want to be able to rescue your setup and not just reinstall: live usb!
To do a rescue on a system that does not boot, then you may also have to enter your environment and fix things, you do that by chroot. I always forget what steps are necessary, so I always look it up in the gentoo handbook: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Handbook:AMD64/Full/Installation#Chrooting It is the same principle with any live media.
