How can I free up space on my Basic account, without affecting my team one?

I have a 'personal' Basic account. I am also a 'Team Member' on a business account. My Basic account is way over its capacity...I want to see how I can clean up my storage, but make sure I do not me...

Just to add to this and make clear, if you delete the files off your account they WILL also delete for everybody else. You need to unshare whole folders first to avoid this from happening. It isnt possible to unshare subdirectories only.
