Look in /var/log. Anything ending with a .gz is an archive you
*could* delete. A wise sysadmin will look through them before sending
them to the bit-bucket. "ls -l /var/log/" will show you how much
space each file is consuming. If you have a file that isn't being
rotated, you might find something quite huge in there.
Other places you might look, assuming a properly functioning system,
include /var/backups (if you're dropping backups there) and, of
course, /var/tmp.
You might try "ls -lR /var/" and just look for big file sizes as well.
