I've used to much space but I can't delete the oversized garbage file.

I'm getting errors on the webmin panel. They reads:

Failed to open /opt/local/etc/webmin/webmin/oscache for writing : Bad file number

I did some searching on it and found that my quota is full. This normally wouldn't be an issue but I can't seem to delete my access_log file which is 3.5 GB.

When I execute '#rm /home/ctaylor/logs/access_log"

I get this error:
rm: /home/ctaylor/logs/access_log not removed: Disc quota exceeded

So....I've used too much space but I can't delete the oversized garbage file. Help please.

If you still have ssh access then cat /dev/null >/home/ctaylor/logs/access_log
otherwise it is ticket time and we will have to delete it for you.
