Help! Running out of space!

[neo_in_matrix]

I am running FC8 using vmware workstation. This morning I did yum update only to find that the only one disk (8gb) is running out space. df shows 99% is used.

How can I free up some space so that I can do yum update?

(It's not intended to sound sarcastic/offensive)... I think it's all summarized basically with:

1) deleting stuff you don't need;

2) cleaning browsers caches (they might be set to store a lot);

3) cleaning the trash can(s);

4) uninstalling programs you don't need (that is, programs you don't need and you know that the system does not need as well);

5) the least obvious one, "apt-get clean" command will delete packages that the system once used to install programs (but without actually uninstalling them). I'm not sure if this command exists in this distribution you're using, but I think that there must be something analog with that "yum" command.

Thanks. I think you remind me of something...

I am going to uninstall something.

Don't forget to clean yum cache too.
Execute this

yum clean all
