AIX : delete files from / ?

I ran out of space in my / partition.

Some question raised to me:

1.
Is there any file I could delete safely from / partition without affecting the system?

2.  I've got plenty of space in rootvg. Is there safe to increase / with chfs ?

Thank you!

for 1: Unable to find anything weird, however:

2. I will increase root ( / ) partition. If there's no risk, I will do it.

Thank you, wmp.
No risk, no fun!

Seriously, increasing / is definitely no problem, all the more as AIX comes by default with a very tiny root filesystem.

Thx for the points!
