Does this machine run full-time or id it dual boot?

If it's a full time machine, the cron scripts should take care of this,
if it's not a full time machine, somewhere in /etc/cron.d you can
probably find a script to do this

/etc/cron.daily/aaa_base_clean_tmp ... in SuSE 7.1

or 

/etc/cron.d/Daily/40cleandir ... in COL eS2.3.1

...yours should be something like this, distros vary.

Have a poke about, most of these things have settings specifying how
long to leave what files behind.  It's a distinct possibility that most
of the 10 meg on your machine hasn't aged enough to be nuked.
