At the start is shown: Starting disc full, cancel files.

Second. After reading your post...I don't think that you considered how confusing that post would be to someone reading it. You obviously know what's going on…but if you don't convey that info in the post…it just looks like "jibber-jabber" to someone else.
Anyways. If I'm guessing correctly…it sounds like your Mac-Mini's had drive is full. You need to boot the computer from a source other than the internal hard drive. Then delete some items before rebooting the computer from the internal HD.
If I'm mistaken…and got things incorrect. Please explain.
And add model and operating system details will help a lot. Always make sure you have 20% of the hard drive space free for the drive to work at its premium. So if a 500GB hard drive, don't go over the 400GB mark.y
If the disc is too full, can the OP start up in Safe Mode, move some things to an external, then delete them of course, and be able to start up normally?

That might be possible but at tome point the drive gets too dull for that to work. When that happens you need to boot from something else and remove some files. Target Disk Mode, bottle clone, boot DVD depending upon which OS version you have. I haven't tried it from the recovery partition.
We do not know what the operating system is unfortunately to assist with recovery or boot from the install DVD. May well be necessary to buy an external hard drive, install whatever OS on it, boot from it and start some heavy clearance work on the internal.
