My lost and found drectory has a large number of files, most of which are not needed.

But in the terminal when I try to use cd, it's asking for permissions and I'm not able to use sudo, since cd is not recognized as a command.

Hence I'm not able to delete the files which are not required - this is one of the reasons my root partition is showing full.

cd is an internal command of your shell and can't be used with sudo

Use

sudo -i

to get a root shell. There you can use cd.
