sounds like /var is par of the root file system. To test, "cd /var ; df 
-k ." to see if it is.  If so, usually /var/cache, /var/tmp and /var/log 
is a good place to find a lot of unneeded stuff to clean out.  To find 
the biggest offenders, cd to one of those directories (/var/cache for 
example) and then use the command "sudo du -sh *" to get a listing of 
each file/directory in the current directory and their sizes.  You'd 
have to investigate further to see what can be safely removed.
