'du' is your friend : it has lots of options, so read the 'man'.
that will tell you what's using so much space, then you can delete stuff.
My system shows :

  root:505 ~> df -h
  Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
  802              30G  6.4G   24G  22% /
  tmpfs           395M  516K  395M   1% /run
  dev              10M     0   10M   0% /dev
  none            2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /dev/shm
  cgroup_root      10M     0   10M   0% /sys/fs/cgroup

  /dev/sda6        15G  6.7G  8.4G  45% /usr/portage
  /dev/sda7        40G  8.1G   32G  21% /z
  /dev/sdb1       9.8G  3.5G  6.3G  36% /usr/local
  /dev/sdb5       9.8G  1.6G  8.3G  16% /usr/src
  tmpfs           2.0G  8.0K  2.0G   1% /tmp

 /z  is a large hangar space for handling very big files.
