Hard Disk at 99% Help!

I use this Solaris to run CMS a call acounting software package for my job. No one could run reports today because it said the this when you logged on
"The following file systems are low, and could adversely affect server performance:
File system /: 99%full
"

Can some one please explain to someone who only knows how to log in and get to the # prompt what to do to free up space?
Please!

Thanks for everyones help in advance. This is major as it is 1 AM and I am stuck here at work with no knowledge on this system.
thanks again

You can remove unwanted files using rm command. You must be knowing at least which are unwanted, older files. :-).
Or else you can blame on ur sysad in such situation. :-).

I am a total newbie and I just figured out how to check (df -k)and one partitioned is at 100% capacity. How do I go into it and see what files are in there and how do I delete the ones I need to?
Sorry but this is the Newbie section and I guess I qualify as a newbie seeing I never worked on this syem ever but thanks for the info

After login enter command df -k .(dot)
This will show info about the file system u r working on.
If it is 100% full , remove the old and unwanted files in your home directory onward.
To chaange the dorectory use cd command, ls for listing etc.
You might not be able to delete other's files.(ideally u should not be able to do that.)

I would suggest not to delete any file at all as you are too new to the system.

The system administrator should be doing this type of work. Do you have a system administrator or someone who has been looking after the server until now?

Every one has left the company who knew anything about this system. Unfortunately I am it for now. LOL

I actually found someone who knows a little and is helping but he says he needs to call Sun to get the file back on. he doesn't or can't remember how. Sorry have been up over 24 hours now so i'm also a little delirious.
Thanks for replying
