Thanks jgt your a star.
The /usr/spool/mail/root was huge.
Using du -s * in /var:-
size before cat - 62224 and after - 59510
But I couldn't find /usr/spool/mail/cron??
On monitoring seems like the /var/opt & /var/spool folders are growing.
Are there any other files I can truncate/delete within these? What about the /tmp folder can I rm ALL files/folders in it??
Can cat be done on a link or do I have to go to actual folder/file to execute (scared to experiment)?
Regards...
