Not enough free space to install OS X

recklessly haven't backed computer isn't option. cannot start in safe mode, crashes displaying message no os x selected (or installed). also, tried , failed appointment @ genius bar.

have looked around online , found this: http://mintcloud.tumblr.com/post/65138101209/not-enough-free-space-how-to-survive-mavericks

know lot of big files in folder called 'movies' within 'downloads', , unnecessary applications in 'applications', it's being able navigate them in terminal delete said files (i'm not confident regarding terminal commands).

(if makes difference, when updating el capitan mac lost power , had reboot took me screen above i'm wondering if part of issue.)

have other macs @ hand if helps, i'd hate lose files.

in advance.
 

hey, advise re indexing hdd , repair disk permissions in disk utility maybe clean cache files there lot of programs out on app store that.
