The 3.8GB of files under /root looks very suspicious.
Another thing I would do is not have so many partitions! If you are
a home user installing a lot of packages, Including OpenOffice.org,
Java, etc, etc, roll /tmp, /usr & /var back into /, and make / at
least 16GB.
$ df -m | sort
Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 45 20 22 48% /boot
/dev/hda2 18778 10900 6925 62% /
/dev/hda3 18778 11942 5883 67% /home
/dev/hda4 197129 164934 22182 89% /data/01
tmpfs 506 0 506 0% /lib/init/rw
tmpfs 506 1 506 1% /dev/shm
udev 10 1 10 1% /dev
