Rep:
IS /opt a partition?
Can you delete anything from it?
Are you using LVM or real partitions?
Is there any room left that is not a partitioned yet?
What you may be able to do if the / partition has plenty of room to hold the contents of /opt then you can umount /opt. The directory /opt should remain. Now remount /opt as /opt2 and copy the contents from /opt2 to /opt.
I'm assuming it a directory, it has netbeans in there. I was trying to install studio 11. I was trying to install it because I was having a compiling errors, thought that would've help it out. /opt is the default dir for install but I don't have the space so it says. I don't know what kind of partitions they are, just the default stuff with solaris 10. I'm thinking it's because when I installed the os I was calling myself saving 20 gb for something else but nothing there now. you know these os's have to have things their way.

It would help if you provide more information about the disk(s) you have, their partitions and slices size, then the filesystems you have created on them, their size and their available space.
