You should be able to do a BOOT/R5:00000001 DIA0: and at the SYSBOOT>
prompt do a SET STARTUP_P1 "MIN"
SYSBOOT> CONTINUE to get to a minimum
boot prompt to delete stuff. If it asks for a password and you don't know
it you might have to gp back to SYSBOOT> and do the SET UAFALTERNATE 1 or
"TRUE" or whatever it says in the VMS FAQ (going from memory here)

(if you do need to crack the SYSTEM password, unlike what is says in the
VMS FAQ I found that you don't need to enter SYSTEM as the password you
can enter whatever you want or blank at the password prompt and then hit
CTRL Z a few times once you've passed the password prompt and you will
get in once that UAFALTERNATE is changed)

Once in to $ you can do a
SET DEF DIA0:[000000]
PURGE/LOG [...]*.log,[...]*.old
to get rid of old file versions that might be left lying around taking up
space
DIRECT/SEL=SIZ=MIN=1000 [...]
to look for large files or whatever
