Not necessarily. On a server /var/log is a likely culprit, but on a GUI workstation I'd think /var/cache or /usr would be more likely, assuming the problem is a hosed/misconfigured program. If the problem is the result of an errant drag/drop the files causing the undue swelling could be in any directory you had/have write access to.

# du -s -h /var
# du -s -h /var/log
# du -s -h /var/cache
# du -s -h /var/tmp
# du -s -h /lost+found
# du -s -h /root
# du -s -h /tmp
# du -s -h /usr
