To the question of WHY your disk is full, 7G really isn't that much space. You also appear to have everything dumped under one partition/filesystem (/). This is generally considered to be a Bad Thing (because if something goes haywire / fills up, and the world ends) but Linux distributions still persist in doing it because it's "simpler". I'd start by looking in /var (esp. /var/log) for huge logfiles. du -hs / (as root) will help you find the biggest directories and possibly point you at what needs cleaning up.
