    From my undertanding, because Appimages are constructed to contain all and   
   any libraries they might need, the disk   
   space they consume is many multiples of a dynamically-linked binary program.   
   Also I would suspect that cleaning apt would have little effect on Appimages.   
   Basically you would be cleaning up old   
   *.deb files.   
   What is the reason you chose to go the Appimage route?  The added convenience   
   comes at a cost, definitely of disk space,   
   and probably of complication in the longer run.   
   If your /home is (as is recommended) on a separate partition, removing files   
   from /home/$USER/Desktop or Downloads will   
   make no difference to the free space on /   
   Could you make the effort of transferring your Ubuntu system to a separate   
   possibly larger hard disk or SSD? Lots of   
   "How tos" on Google.
