I want to check whether my root drive requires a defragmentation. If requried I am planning to do this sudo e4defrag -c /dev/<my partition> I followed this method to analyze my disk.
sudo touch /forcefsck
sudo tune2fs -c 1 /dev/<my partition>
Then I rebooted my system but its showing nothing on my reboot and directly goes to the login page. How to analyze and defrag a drive in ubuntu 16.04?

I did thissudo bleachbit -c --presetfor clearing my system. But it exits after sometime with a errorfilesystem root has 99 MB left. Tried unchecking some options and rerun bleachbit but the problem still exists. Thats why I am not going to go bleachbit way

I suggest that you try to repair the root file system. Boot from another drive, for example an Ubuntu install drive (USB or DVD) and run ane2fsckcommand according to this link. Scroll down to 'Repair linux file systems with linux tools'.

Looks like the problem is your partition is full . Significant fragmentation is very rare in linux

sudo fsck.ext2 -fn /dev/sdXYwill show fragmentation. The problem probably is your partition is full

Ubuntu doesn't need disk-defragmenting
From this article:
If you’re a Linux user, you’ve probably heard that you don’t need to
defragment your Linux file systems. You’ll also notice that Linux
distributions don’t come with disk-defragmenting utilities. But why is
that?
To understand why Linux file systems don’t need defragmenting in
normal use – and Windows ones do – you’ll need to understand why
fragmentation occurs and how Linux and Windows file systems work
differently from each other.

Although very rare one can see significant fragmentation in Linux. This happens when the partition is full and the op suggests this may be the case
