I have done that. /tmp and /var/log are not very big. The culprit seems to
be packages in /usr/share like xemacs which I never use. I have only been
installing/removing packages from the 'Add Remove Packages' tool. It no
longer seems to works properly - now all it does is give me a long list of
packages that are not installed and tell me that I cannot uninstall the
packages I requested to be uninstalled.
How do I manually remove packages like xemacs which I don't use?

Hmmm - not sure what you mean. /home and /data which are in separate
partitions.

How would one go about deleting all the stuff in /tmp & /var/log ?
to remove some applications try it using yum
yum remove xemacs
