Deleting old kernels & related files won't help the OP since the
kernels aren't on the / partition.

I would suggest you take a look at the contents of your /var

under there. Deleting old rpm files should free up space on the /
partition.
"yum clean all" will delete all of the cruft yum leaves behind in
/var/cache/yum.
