/dev/root shows 100% use on fresh install
I am new to VPS' and I followed the guide to set everything up and get logged into the Ubuntu 16.04 LTS via putty but cannot do anything because there is no storage space available. The /dev/root shows size 15G used 15G available 0 and use% 100.
Correction it goes to 100% full after doing apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you!

I can confirm this isn't the case on a new 16.04 install:
Before:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 15G 754M 13G 6% /
devtmpfs 493M 0 493M 0% /dev
tmpfs 495M 0 495M 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 495M 7.7M 488M 2% /run
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 495M 0 495M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 99M 0 99M 0% /run/user/0
After apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/root 15G 837M 13G 6% /
devtmpfs 493M 0 493M 0% /dev
tmpfs 495M 0 495M 0% /dev/shm
tmpfs 495M 7.7M 488M 2% /run
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 495M 0 495M 0% /sys/fs/cgroup
tmpfs 99M 0 99M 0% /run/user/0
I'm assuming this isn't a brand new image - you must have some additional files / applications installed. I'd take a look at some of these commands to help narrow things down:
