Start by finding out which files are the largest ones; the 'du' command
can help you. Then find out what these files are, and if you can safely
delete (or truncate) them.
One place to check is the mail spool files (in /var/spool/mail, if I
remember right). Frequently systems are set up with cron jobs that
do not handle their output right, which leads to undesired mail for root
each time.
