Workstation Player 15 and No space left on device using Linux Mint

Hello all,

 

I downloaded VMware WorkStation 15 Player in order to run the latest Linux Mint.  At first, I used VMware Workstation Pro with no problems, but then I saw Workstation Player was free, so I uninstalled Workstation Pro and installed Player.  It is on Windows 10, 64-bit operating system, running on a home laptop.  It was able to boot up Mint, so before I set it up, I decided to run the update.
I first setup new locations for fast delivery, and proceeded.  I then saw what I needed, and downloaded the packages.  It began to install them, but a problem came up.
A box opens and says: "An error occurred
The following details are provided:
E:/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-rnlJIG/...(extra text not copied): cannot copy extracted data for './usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libLLVM-9' to '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/(extra text not copied)': failed to write (No space left on device)
E:/tmp/apt-dpkg-install-rnlJIG/(extra text not copied): unable to make backup link of './usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri/kms_swrast_dri.so' before installing new version:  No space left on device"

Soon after a second window opens with the following:"
Low Disk Space
This computer has 0 bytes disk space remaining."
At the bottom of the box are 2 buttons, Examine and Ignore.  I close it, and have no numeric codes given to me.

 

There are 2 partitions this laptop came with, C:\ with 54.5 GB free, and D:\ with 23.6 GB of free space.  I have VMware Workstation 15 Player installed on C:\ and the Mint ISO file on D:\.
So I have the space it says it needs.  I am confused.  What do I need to do to overcome this problem?
