Resolution

1. Go to System > Setup > Storage and format the partition for which the error has triggered.

Additional Notes

To find files which might be taking up disk space check the root directory space using "df -h". Find out which partition is almost full. Generally, it is /var.
You can remount /var onto a temporary folder somewhere and then try and find out what is filling it up.

Steps to mount

cd /tmp
mkdir remount
mount /dev/sda9 /tmp/remount

and then to unmount the partition after looking for the biggest files in it use - umount remount

To check the size of the biggest files mounted in /var use

du -x /var | sort -rn | head -20
