How to clear cache or make some space available for my instance? (lemm.ee)

My Lemmy instance has reached 100% storage so I can no longer use it. Is there a safe way I can clear cache or make some more space available without upgrading the disk space? I set up the instance with the ansible script many months ago and migrating to object storage seems to be a decent amount of work I don't have to commit to currently.

I tried searching on the admin wiki (https://wiki.lemmyadmin.site) but I couldn't find anything

I can't switch to Object Storage just yet because I'm worried that since I have 0 space left there will be issues when trying to migrate so I need to make some space available and then make the switch to Object Storage

I don't have good advice for right now, but as for the future: always have a 5-10GB file on your server that you can delete in an emergency.

Look at root reserved blocks on ext4, this is already the default
