[Solved] Wgetted a big file onto a RT-N66U, "out of memory", can't delete it!

So I'm helping my brother figure out why his router stalls his 100mbits internet to a 10mbit service (faulty router I guess). I enabled ssh and I kind of got the feeling I was logged on to a regular computer running linux so I did wget a file which was maybe 200 mb. This was a mistake I can say.

Code:
login as: admin
admin@xxxxxxxxxxx's password:

ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-N66U_3.0.0.4 Fri Apr 18 19:31:25 UTC 2014
Out of memory!
: Cannot allocate memory
admin@RT-N66U:/tmp/home/root# ls
archlinuxarm-27-03-2012.zip
admin@RT-N66U:/tmp/home/root# rm archlinuxarm-27-03-2012.zip
-sh: can't fork

Ok, so does anyone have a clue how to solve this. I am several miles away from the router itself... please, assist me. Thank you!
And also, wow, looking at the log through web ui...jesus christ man..lol. What have I done, lots of out of memory errors going on now...
 
Thanks for helping me

Code:
admin@RT-N66U:/tmp/home/root# cat /dev/null > archlinuxarm-27-03-2012.zip
admin@RT-N66U:/tmp/home/root# ls
archlinuxarm-27-03-2012.zip
admin@RT-N66U:/tmp/home/root# ls
archlinuxarm-27-03-2012.zip
admin@RT-N66U:/tmp/home/root# rm archlinuxarm-27-03-2012.zip
admin@RT-N66U:/tmp/home/root# ls
admin@RT-N66U:/tmp/home/root#

Saved my day man, could kiss you right now :D
