Your problem is that you failed to make a /home partition,

I don't know if it would help in this situation at all, but I found my
server filling up for no good reason I could think of. Then I happened
to look at my /tmp directory, and was amazed at what all was there.
Don't applications that create temp files ever clean up after themselves
anymore?
Sadly, no.
That's one reason why I also keep /tmp on a its own partition
(also to keep write() activity to a minimum on the root
partition -- corrupted root => difficult or no boot-up
I changed to runlevel 1 to make the file system as quiet
as possible, removed /tmp/* and /tmp/.*, and gained 112
GB of space.
In the future, boot to runlevel S (or s)
