EC2 runs out of storage, which logs etc. can be deleted?

I am having a problem with an EC2 which uses nearly all of the 8GB of storage. I regularly delete log files from the server and files which get created by cronjobs in the users folder (can I turn this off?), but in the past there is always less space after deleting all the files. So somewhere else the EC2 creates files, but I don't know where.

Does anybody know where I can look for unused files automatically created by the Amazon Linux AMI or apache?

Thanks!

You can clear all log files from your ec2 Ubuntu instance using this command

sudo rm -rf /opt/bitnami/apache2/logs/

Look in /var/log, and for Apache they will likely be in /var/log/httpd. I also suggest that you look into logrotate.
