on a RaQ4 it is normal ..

the "/" (root) dir is only used for installed programs .. the running
parameters ar in "/var".
"/var" is very important to not fill up cause there will be written logs
and program parameters,
which couldn't be used if hda3 is full which leads to program fails, but
11% is not to worse about.

buy a linux book and read about "ls", "tree", "du", "df", "find" etc.

maybe you could move some data from "/" to "/home" and make symlinks
from "/home" to "/" ..
in example the manual and doc files are a good data to move without the
risk to smash the box

the log files are in "/var" so nope .. but the program itself need its
space in "/"

it's always better to have some log files to check when something fail
.. so deleting isn't a real good opinion
