Hello,

Due to a disk place problem, i cannot upgrade my installation since long time.  
I’m curruntly using v2.0.0beta1…

I’ve 20gb on my VPS and i’ve 5.6gb free  
I’ve alredy delete backups and lot of uploads…

When i try to upgrade, i’ve this:

```
WARNING: Docker version 17.05.0-ce deprecated, recommend upgrade to 17.06.2 or newer.

WARNING: We are about to start downloading the Discourse base image

You have less than 5GB of free space on the disk where /var/lib/docker is located. You will need more space to continue

Would you like to attempt to recover space by cleaning docker images and containers in the system?(y/N)y

What can i do?

Ncdu tell me that:

```
