Issue with disk space usage

Issue with disk space usage
I have the following line in my "df -h" output:
Code:
Filesystem              Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad4s1a             496M    495M    -39M   109%    /

What is the issue with having 9% excess utilisation? How can I find out what this partition is used for and whether deleting some files is recommended?
Thanks in advance
