That's the storage for the logs maintained by journald. You can manage
these logs by editing /etc/systemd/journald.conf and setting one or more
of SystemMaxUse/SystemKeepFree. See the journald.conf manpage for
details.
journald collects logs from both system service and user sessions; you
may want to see if there is anything causing excessive log traffic. You
can run "journalctl -f" (as root) to follow the logs as they are
generated and see if there are repeated messages or errors that you
could resolve.
