Cleaning the device wont matter how much userdata you delete or move, cache
is a different partition...
Here you can see the different partitions on for example Nexus 5 [0]

Try wiping cache as i said:

reboot to recovery
adb shell "rm -r /cache/recovery/*"

This gets rid of old update tarballs.

There is no personal data in cache, the /cache/recovery/ is only used for
updates. The reason why it stores it there is so tempararly store it there
while the device reboots to flash (note that recovery does the flashing
[1], ubuntu-device-flash just pushes the updates to the device)
