    I can see the grub menu but it’s bypassing it. I’m now currently sitting at a GNU grub version 2.06.

    I assume I want recovery mode, correct?

    Re: Boots into TTY mode (operating system present)

    So it appears I have no free space left on my device. How can I fix this to restore some space to possibly free one of these issues

    If you select Clean in recovery mode and press Enter a terminal window should appear with options to free space up. That would be my first attempt.

    The package lists or status file cannot be parse or opened.

    E: wrote error saving space cache. I tried that suggestion and that’s what popped up.

    I would also try the dpkg option in Recovery mode and see if that helps fix/clean any issues. You will need to select network before using dpkg to make sure you are connected.
