Since you (wisely) use yum for package installation/removal, you
shouldn't touch /var or /user directly but check which package owns it
and consider removing the package, e.g.

$ rpm -qf /var/huge-file
bigpackage-2.4.3-fc14.x86_64
$ sudo yum erase bigpackage

You already did that using "yum clean all". Note that "yum clean
packages" would probably have freed almost as much space without
removing yum metadata, which is why I suggested it earlier.
