If you are just an cPanel end-user, you should really be contacting your hosting provider on such issues.

Without knowing what files you have in your home directory and what you are using your account for, all I could suggest is that you delete all files that are not needed!

More specifically:

1. If you access your mail via IMAP, delete all unnecessary sent messages, drafts and delete the contents of trash folders

2. If you have any form of server-side spambox, empty it

3. Delete any files of which your website is comprised that are not needed - obsoleted image files, for example

No problem.

The main reason why you would be best off contacting your hosting company, aside from the the reason that you're paying them for support, is that they should be able to see what files you have and thus advise you more accurately.
