I can save you some time:

   $ du -h /mnt/user-store/stats
   822G	/mnt/user-store/stats

==> over 20% of the data is mine...

This contains the raw data for the consultation statistics for all 
projects. It can easily be cleaned, since there is data starting in 
January 2009 in there. But I'd be glad to know who uses it, and if 
people only use the most recent files, or if some of them use the 
archives -- so that I know what can be cleaned (it could even be done 
automatically).

I remember there were discussions about having some dedicated space for 
these files (and a more accessible version of them), I don't know if 
this went anywhere ?

Just in case, I keep a copy of all older files, and can provide them to 
anyone who would need them. In the recent past, I did not want to remove 
them, because there were not too many copies of them around, and I was 
glad to have a copy on the toolserver, but the WMF has now downloaded a 
copy of them, so I don't mind so much deleting them
