That will depend on the type of filesystem you are using.  Don't consider
growing/shrinking filesystems on production boxes unless you are sure you
have your data safely backed up (which should be the case anyway).

Do this:

cd /
du -sh *

See where the data is being taken up.

I see you do not have /tmp seperate.  You might like to consider this.
At a pinch you could symlink /tmp to /var/tmp although I don't recommend
it as a long term solution.  If you do this, take the box to single user
first.
