You should open a support case and open remote access for an engineer to go through and assure there are not any stale/old core files that are eating up un-necessary space.  From the customer side CLI, there is not a way for you to accomplish this.

The option you would have is to enable FTP, and then go into the mail logs, system logs - determine if you have retained too many/too long of time (old).

Since the C170 has smallest HDD, more than likely I will go out on a limb here and say you have core files that are generated when a process/service dies unexpectedly, and creates the core file on the backend - usually used for in-depth troubleshooting.  These live on the backend, and would need to have Cisco take a look into further.

Also - assure that you are running a more recent version of AsyncOS for Email Security on your appliance.  The newer versions allow diskquotaconfig, which may allow you better management over allocation sized:

mail.local.com> diskquotaconfig
