This seems a little large to me, try running the same command but with /etc
instead of / as dir argument.  Once you find the largest directory (it might be
/etc) use: ls -alr --sort=size to see what the biggest files are.

This is a problem, see below.

I have never heard of this directory, just fyi.

I would keep them around for safe keeping but moving them out of /root.  I
would suggest moving the packages to /home/packages (should already exsist).
Move the rpms out as well, I usaully create a directory called /home/rpms on my
boxes and store all rpms there. 

If this doesn't work I would suggest moving /usr/lib onto the /home partition,
this can be a little tricky.  Let me know if you want instructions for doing
this.
