Root File System Maxed Out

[earlscott3 at comcast.net]

I am a new user to Fedora. 



I ran the latest updates and pulled 404 updates. One of the updates stated it needs more room on the root file system in order to download it. 



The root file system is maxed otu at 3.3gb in size. How do I get free space without messing up my Fedora? I made an initial 40gb partition and still have 34gb to use. Does Fedora consider each file folder a different partition? 



This command line OS is hard but I am willing to learn.
