Something simple like:
# du -B 1M -s /* | sort +0nr
will give sorted top level directory usage. You can then drill down
further into any directories that are taking up a lot of space:
# du -B 1M -s /var/cache/* | sort +0nr
Checking /var/cache/yum (it may be holding a lot of RPMs and repo data
which will not be needed in the upgrade), /tmp/, /usr/src for old
source, and /boot for old kernel images should help to reclaim some
disk space.
