Deleting files and Disk space - Urgent help needed

I can't receive emails and sending messages on my forum is a little dodgy because I have used up all my disk space. How do I rid myself????? URGENT

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
