I got a warning message about running out of AWS RDS local storage.

According to the AWS document, local storage depends on instance type and can be increased by scale up : https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/aurora-mysql-local-storage/?nc1=h_ls
But, I would like to clear the local storage instead of scaling up the instance because only one instance of the read cluster has insufficient local storage.
I restarted Aurora instance but the local storage is still almost full.
How can I clear local storage?
It's MySQL version is 5.6.
