1. how about something like this to just delete some junk:

  find ~user -type f | egrep -i "\.(mp3|mov|ogg)$" |  xargs rm -f

change the regexp to match whatever disk-space wasters the user is storing.


2. set their quota to 10GB and tell them it's THEIR problem to sort it out.
they've made the mess, they can clean it up.
