Fedora Users — Re: Disk Cleanup

I'm not sure of any documentation short of the FHS ( http://www.pathname.com/fhs/ ) but that just gives you a general idea on what goes where not what can be removed. I usually run a du -h --max-depth=1 / as root or a find / -size +200000 -exec ls -lh {} \; to get a general idea of any spots on the system I can look into that are hogging considerable amounts of space.

Greetings,
Being sort of a newbie to Linux, I was wondering if someone could post some hints as to what is the best way to free up space on a disk. I find myself running out of disk space and would like to remove any uncessesary junk left over from upgrades, kernel builds, software installations, etc. Is there a good tutorial somwhere which tells me what I can delete and what not?
Thanks,
