There are a few places to look, most of /tmp can be cleaned out (except files pertaining to X, since if you are running X, and you delete those files, X might lockup), you can also look in /var/log (anything with .gz or .1, .2, .3, etc can be removed), and also in /var/spool/mail (since there are a lot of things that root will receive from cron jobs that occur periodically).
