du -ks /var/* | sort -n | more

Should show you each file and directory in /var sorted on size.
It's not defenit what can be thrown away.

find / -name core -type f

Shows you core files that can be thrown away.

find / -type f -size +10000000c -exec ls -l {} \;

should show you files larger than 10Mb. It might be nice to take a close look at these.

fuser -fu <file>

Would be nice to examine before removing a file. In case of a doubt only null a file like :

>/my/path/to/file


Please try to get a course, you seem to miss quiet some basics.

GCORE(1)						      General Commands Manual							  GCORE(1)

NAME
gcore - get core image of running process SYNOPSIS
gcore [-s][-c core] pid DESCRIPTION
gcore creates a core image of each specified process, suitable for use with adb(1). By default the core image is written to the file <pid>.core. The options are: -c Write the core file to the specified file instead of <pid>.core. -s Stop the process while creating the core image and resume it when done. This makes sure that the core dump will be in a consistent state. The process is resumed even if it was already stopped. Of course, you can obtain the same result by manually stopping the process with kill(1). The core image name was changed from core.<pid> to <pid>.core to prevent matching names like core.h and core.c when using programs such as find(1). FILES
<process-id>.core The core image. BUGS
If gcore encounters an error while creating the core image and the -s option was used the process will remain stopped. Swapped out processes and system processes (the swapper) may not be gcore'd. 4.2 Berkeley Distribution April 15, 1994 GCORE(1)
