I have found where is the lost space , it is in /var/spool/virtual/[username]
the files there is like emails , can I remove them safely?

Have you switched your server to Dovecot? If so, then you can safely remove the email files from /var/spool/virtual as emails are now stored in the /home directory tree.

However, if you've NOT installed Dovecot, then iff you remove emails stored on the server the user won't be able to access them anymore. So I'd say you shouldn't. If your user complains when the space is gone, you can always explain why.
