Yes but atm i can't install anything, which file i can delete to free at least 500MB or so? Any log that i can delete?

You should still be able to scan with du -h /, just without the ncurses interface of ncdu
 
Too many files to read via Proxmox shell, i can't use Putty right now because i don't have the publickey to access it.

There are some logs that i can delete without compromise the promox operativity?

Since /var is mounted on a different disk, cleaning up the logs which are under /var/log will not help. Also clearing the apt cache will have no effect.

find / -xdev -type f -size +100Mgives you files larger than 100M, adapt the size to your needs. This should help you locate large files for possible cleanup.
