Hi Stephanie,

> Upon investigation most of the space being used was taken in /var/cache.

The config file /etc/yum.conf usually has the parameter "keepcache=0" set. 
Which means that YUM downloads the updates, but removes them after it has 
installed them.

Maybe "keepcache" was set to "1" on your box?
