Yes, you can simply find all the zip, tar, gzip and rar files and delete those, that would fix it. But are you sure you are not removing an important file for any of your customers or even from your server?
This bash script will remove most known backup files without removing any other file, also will remove logs, will empty trash bins, remove sql files and iso files (disabled by default).
The last 2 steps of the script will find more files that you could remove manually but the script will NOT remove any of these files for security.
This script will only look over /home/ /home2/ /home3/ and so on. This script will NOT remove anything out of these folders.
