How to free up space in disk on Colab TPU?

Question

I am training a few deep learning models on Google Colab with runtime type set to TPU. The RAM and disk status shows that I have used most of my disk storage on Colab. Is there a way to reset it? Or to delete something to free up some more disk space? I know that I can change to GPU which will give me a lot more disk space, however, my models take forever to change, so I would really like to stay with TPU. Thanks in advance!

A few places you might delete by rm -rf and reclaim some spaces.
