Do you have space somewhere else ?

One way would be 

- Find a directory that 1. takes a lot of space and 2. can
  be moved to some alternate location without affecting the 
  system, e.g. videos or audio files. Or anything that is
  required only after booting.

- Copy it to some alternate location, e.g. an external USB
  disk.

- Delete the original, and replace it by a symlink.

- Add the new volume to your /etc/fstab (or mount it
  manually after login).
