That's about it - 30-40 MB freed on the root.

Open a terminal window and type the following (I did it as root):

Btw, the "Unable to send..." message appeared for me when home had no space left. The above does NOT free up home space, but freed up 30MB of rootfs for me. Which I believe optimized the overall performance a bit.

This solved the issue in my case, seems that if the rootfs is 100%
you will get the error.
