Use gnome's disk usage analyser to get insight on possible junk data. It came handy for me.
I saw deleted torrent data from my transmission in /home/myusername/.local/share/Trash/files. Ran 'rm-rf *' to delete everything here.
Have heard that tempwatch is good to delete /tmp folder. Run or add tmpwatch to cron tab. 'tmpwatch -maf 4 /tmp' deletes tmp files older than 4 hours.
run 'yum clean all' to clear yum cache.
Sometimes we install a package which install bunch of dependencies. Later when we remove using yum, the dependencies are not removed. Use
package-cleanup --leaves
to get list of unused packages and remove them.
After doing above 3 things my 'df -h' statistics jumped from 25% / usage to 13% / usage :-)
