take a look to see if something big jumps out at you:

find / -xdev -size +2048k > /tmp/bigstuff.txt

less /tmp/bigstuff.txt

that'll show files over 2 meg & you can remove as you see fit. Adjust
the value as you need.

Also edit /etc/logrotate.conf & uncomment the compress option.
Compressing logs is a very good way to optimize the usage in /var/log/

Be aware that you will need to manually prune out some logfiles due to
changes in extensions.
