I have done that. /tmp and /var/log are not very big. The culprit seems to be packages in /usr/share like xemacs which I never use. I have only been installing/removing packages from the 'Add Remove Packages' tool. It no longer seems to works properly - now all it does is give me a long list of packages that are not installed and tell me that I cannot uninstall the packages I requested to be uninstalled. How do I manually remove packages like xemacs which I don't use? > Just another reason it's really a bad idea to have a monolithic "/" > filesystem. Hmmm - not sure what you mean. /home and /data which are in separate partitions.
