Check if you have a temporary PHP sessions file that can be deleted to free space.

The /dev/loop0 partition seems to be mounted to your /tmp folder.

The tmp partition is an area on the server where temporary files are kept.

Tmp filling up can be due to many reasons. With this command you can control what is consuming too much space in tmp.

find /tmp -type f -size +100M -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $9 ": " $5 }'
This command lists files of 100 mb and above in the tmp area.

Deleting temporary files may affect the operation of sites, you must first determine why these sites are creating these files. Deleting the files does not provide a permanent solution, you will have to fix the problem on your software.

Or you can consider the option to upgrade the tmp space.
