You may want to consider the recurrance of this happening, and take
this opportunity to flash archive the system, and jumpstart it back
with a more reasonable file system layout.  Instead of doing some hokey
stuff to move files around or delete things that you may need to backout
to.

As has been witnessed here  before, if you start doing surgery on your
system to try and address space issues, it will continue to occur, and
more than likely, odd behaviors will start appearing on your system that
no one else can reproduce.
