The "df" command will show you Disk Free space. Some variants will
accept "df -h" to give human-friendly numbers.

I don't know much about AIX in particular, but
http://www.google.com/search?q=aix+failedlogin
suggests you should truncate the file, rather than just deleting it.
The command would be:
> /etc/security/failedlogin
Note that the right-pointing chevron (>) is part of the command line
you type. You're redirecting a null command to a file, which
overwrites it with the null output.
You can delete (remove) the old (rotated) file:
rm /etc/security/failedlogin1
