'du' is your friend : it has lots of options, so read the 'man'.
that will tell you what's using so much space, then you can delete stuff.
My system shows :

  root:505 ~> df -h
  Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
  802              30G  6.4G   24G  22% /

  tmpfs           2.0G  8.0K  2.0G   1% /tmp

 /z  is a large hangar space for handling very big files.
