Were you unable to navigate (cd) or delete (rm)? It seems like you have a case of single-pool machine, and the rpool has overflowed. You likely have regular auto-snapshots, so deleting files from live datasets does not really free up space - to the extent that zfs refuses to borrow some bits from space it has system-reserved anyway in order to mark blocks from the deleted files as last-referred by a snapshot. And so 'rm' fails even as root. Does this guess match? ;) Kill a snapshot and further deletions should then proceed well, although won't free up space until you remove snapshots that reference the deleted data. Other failure to delete may be to read-only and/or ocerlay mounts, attempts to delete from snapshot (directory representation), immutable file/dir attribute, access over nfs to a host that does not trust you as root and maps to nobody. These are the most likely secondary reasons...
