 * Hi, Plz. WordPress takes up most of the space using the below files such as
    - Images and video uploaded to your media library (usually in /wp-content/uploads/)
    -  Plugins and Themes files like (PHP, CSS, JS etc.,) ( /wp-content/themes/ 
      and wp-content/plugins/</li
    -  Any files uploaded via FTP (such as custom web fonts, libraries, etc.)
    - You may think of using any plugin to monitor the Disk Space.

 * I would advise contacting your hosting company, they will guide you better.
 * for general advice, I would suggest do not delete anything unless you are sure
   from public_html and email account since these directories contain important 
   files for your website and email accounts.
