I have run apt autoremove.
During initial installation of 18.04 as a virtual machine in VMware Workstation 14 Player, VMtools was not installed. I selected Player → Manage → Reinstall VMtools. Using Files I opened VMWare Tools. I right-clicked on VMwareTools-10.2.0-7259539.tar.gz. When I selected option Extract To…, no matter what I did I received the error message above about not enough free space.

Could you please add a little more detail? What exactly did you do, what did you expect to happen and what happened instead? Did you encounter any warning or error messages? Please reproduce them in their entirety in your question. You can select, copy and paste terminal content and most dialogue messages in Ubuntu. Please edit your post to add information instead of posting a comment. (see How do I ask a good question?)

Move the contents of the mounted drive to the desktop. I had the same issue, copied it over to the desktop and chose "Extract here" worked after that.
