/var/cache is the typical place for apt/yum/etc cached files.
i'd do a
locate rpm | grep 'rpm$'
and find any rouge rpms sitting around.
go into your home directory and do a
du -sm * .* | sort -rnb
also, keep an eye on unneeded packages installed...
rpm -qa --queryformat "%{NAME} : %{SUMMARY}\n" | sort | less
look through that and find things that you never use.
