Can be lots of things like backups, log files, etc.
If you have SSH access, you can check these commands:

du -sh /var/lib/psa/dumps/
du -sh /var/log/
du -sh /var/www/vhosts/
du -sh /var/www/vhosts/system/

Here is the result.

29G     /var/lib/psa/dumps/
root@musing-lalande:~# du -sh /var/log/
32G     /var/log/

Have you checked your website's log rotation?

I am not sure, i manually did not used the option shown in this article. Is this the main problem and how to resolve it? How to free up some space? what should i delete now

You shouldn't manually delete anything. All you should do is manage the disk space, such as setting the number of daily backups.
How did you set those? Every day a full backup or another backup scheme?
Can you post a screenshot of the global backup settings?
Tools & Settings -> Backup Manager -> Schedule
