I am not sure how important this particular program is but I think it
will help.

Following this tangent is taking Lisi further away from a solution, not
closer to it, and simply wasting her time.
With all due respect to my colleagues who have responded, it seems
you've all given her your pet favorite ways of dealing with this type of
problem, instead of giving her short concise instructions on how to
identify and then fix the actual problem.
To this point we still don't know what the problem actually is. You
have (unless I missed a post) all assumed she's out of disk space. She
could very well be out of inodes. She needs to determine that BEFORE
attempting a fix, and before laboriously trying to hunt down files that
are apparently filling the filesystem, when that may not be the problem
at all.
