if logging is on, logs will get large (turn off after troubleshooting).

if you clean out /var/log/astguiclient, this will help also (will fill up again if you have logging on).

also check status of logs in /etc/asterisk/logger.conf and clean out any files that asterisk was sending information to ("logger rotate" if you change the settings so they take effect)

and back up your mysql data and tell it to clean out your log files there.

if you are recording, obviously those files take up space and you'll need to move them to a different server if you need to keep them.
