Home directories enforce a disk quota. Should you go over your qouta, you may find that you don't have enough space to delete any files. To get around this you can truncate files as follows 

 echo "" > big_file_I_want_to_delete

You then should be able to delete the file you emptied 

 rm big_file_I_want_to_delete
