[clue] seeking advice cleaning up root

[chris fedde]

if /var/log is in the / partition then that might be the culprit. Log
rotation scripts are typically driven by logrotate and the
/etc/logrotate.conf config.  My favorite command for finding "disk
hogs" is something like "sudo du -x / | sort -n"

good luck
