## Folders are not partitions
Partitions are a different question from folders. A minimal Debian install typically creates two, one for `/` and one for swap, so every folder above except `/boot` lives on the same partition and shares the same free space. Two commands to see the reality of it: `lsblk` draws the tree of disks and partitions, `df -h` shows how full each one is.

Every kernel update leaves the previous one installed, and `/boot` is a small partition that eventually fills up and breaks the next upgrade. Do this every single time, not once in a while. `--purge` also drops the config files of the packages being removed.
