Each file you create, regardless of its size, uses an inode up. When a
filesystem is created by mkfs a default ratio is used to determine how many
inodes should be created. Since you are running out of inodes, you need to get
a large number of files off of the full filesystem. The size of the files is
hardly important -- just the number. You can delete the files, or move them.
Another option is to archive a lot of little files that aren't used into a tar
archive and then delete the individual small files. The archive itself will be
one bigger file.
