I would recommend the sequence:

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
apt-get clean

the latter will empty the package cache, so you shouldn't run out of 
space in future.  upgrade and dist-upgrade are redundant; use one or the 
other. You can google the difference or just take my work for it ;)

HTH,

Ian.
