time to search for all them mp3's hiding in there
At my last school we had users with rather a lot of PSD files (Graphics Dept).
We liquidated anything that looked iffy. Clawed back nearly 10GB - nobody came crying so it must have all been rubbish.
i had a school call me earlier their user drive had 4k left ive been at them for ages to tidy up their user areas so ive been letting it fill up hoping when they break it they will think about it more
Perhaps move your year 11 data off the drive once exams are done.
when we get short of space I just quietly move something large like photo collections that I have been told are vital...I don't delete them just archive them off to some offline storage (ie my hard drive) and wait to see who squeals.
Last time I did that nobody said anything...ever!
Shows how vital all those photos were

We only have about 600mb to go on one of our shares! Talk about juggle act.

We ended last year with a few mb of space left on both the staff and student file stores, thus year I am not worried about those thankfully as my shiny Sun SAN solved those issues for us this year.....
iDisk or Treesize are awesome applications for finding where the space has all gone - it could be that a quick conversation with a couple of users could recover you enormous amounts of space. Also consider things like BMP2JPG, Image Resizer (use with caution) and compressing a few embedded images in Office files - you might surprise yourself with how much you can get back with minimal impact on users and only a few hours of your time.
10Gb and you are sweating!!! I wish we had that wriggle room!
I've only got 400GB left!
Steptree is a graphical tool which is good fun too...
Look at SpaceMonger as well for a good GUI for seeing who is hogging the space, I may have to run it soon as Im down to my last 8TB :-/
