[Lilab] [URGENT] Please Clean HPCC Storage

[Wei Vivian Li]

We have 10T in the bigdata, where ~3.5T have been used to store shared
data, which leaves ~6.5T to host files of all accounts. Given the current
size of our group, it would be safe to try to limit the file size in
individual accounts to ~1T.
Of course, this is also project-dependent, and some projects just require
more storage space. If you are unsure about which files can be removed,
please talk to me.

*Please address these issues today or let me know if you need more time.*
Thanks!
