Now tell me should I delete /var/cache as it occupies around 127M of the
disk space. In doing so it will create a lot of free space in the /var
partition, but then how good it would be for the cache ??
Will it become too slow as then cache has been removed ?
Ah, /var/cache usually contains the combined caches of many system
services. You can see which ones by "ls -la /var/cache"
The worst problem you have is as I suspected the logs at ~10,000 MB,
next biggest is the /var/spool at ~2,000 MB (which is probably where
squid cache data actually is).
Find out whats leaving so many of such big logs and see if you can cut
the size down a bit.

yup these files are generated to keep track of the sites visited by the
student users more than 1000, to keep a check on :
they are crated on the directory:
/var/www/sarg/daily
The filenames are of the type:
