Delete files that you no longer need. You can use the Disk Usage Analyzer (<menuchoice><guimenu>Applications</guimenu><guimenuitem>Accessories</guimenuitem><guimenuitem>Disk Usage Analyzer</guimenuitem></menuchoice>) to find which files are taking up the most space. Be careful not to delete files that you still need!
