Just before this incident, I was doing things on my VMs and download a iso via torrent.Then a message pop up and was saying :not enough space on device /home/aaa/Downloads/name_of_torrent
And then ,I tried to delete some things and I was pretty sure my partition still had over 30GB so I decided to restart my system to see what will happen.
Whenever I enter my password and hit enter it goes just black and come back to the login screen.

Log in text mode (level 3) and type:
df -h
That will show which partitions are full. If that is the case, create space - use midnight commander
(mc). Find out what is filling the space.

Use any of these to determine where has gone the disk space - preferably as root:
kdirstat
baobab
filelight
df

We said “df -h” not “df -l” ie, Hotel, not Lima.
Anyway, disk is full. Ok, now do:
du -hcs /*
it will take a long time, then tell you the sizes of each directory. With that you can determine
which is much bigger than it should. cd to it, and do:
du -hcs *
and so on till you discover the culprit files. Have a look at them to find out which program is
writing them.
Or use “midnight commander” (ie, run “mc”) for the whole process. Menu “command”, “show directory
sIzes” will calculate the size of all the shown directories in the active panel. Navigate and repeat
till you find the culprit. “F3” open the files to have a look. Mark and delete as needed.
Or you could use one of the GUI programs I suggested, but as you don’t have free space to install
anything, stick to text mode.
