apt-get clean
will remove what can be removed.

If that's not sufficient then you will have to remove some stuff from your rootfs (e.g. non-optified large packages)

Disable some of the repos, it will clean up itself. Optionally you can clean by hand from xterm: apt-get clean

you could try to link the cache to somewhere else:

Code:
apt-get update -o dir::cache=/home/user/MyDocs/.apt-archive-cache

apt-get dist-upgrade -o dir::cache=/home/user/MyDocs/.apt-archive-cache
but i would be careful with this one... better solution is to disable some repositories in the catalogs

Use the application manager to un-install applications you can live without. Particularly any large ones (if you can identify them).
