Reinstall....
Perhaps you have installed extra packages?

I think 2.6 is a bit bigger than 6 GB.
You can drop a gig from it pretty easy....
Go into usr/share/themes
delete every theme you don't use.
usr/share/backgrounds
Delete it all
usr/share/wallpapers
put the one you use here, get rid of the rest
usr/share/icons
This will clear you up pretty decently
Delete most of them, I think you might need the basic icon sets though, this might get tricky, still, if you remove a bunch of these, it will definitely get smaller.
Applications would be the next stop
This is also tricky, since there are dependencies that need to be met here and there, but basically, go through, find what you do not use, and get rid of them.
After that..you could make an iso of it, put it on USB, and save there.
That should bring you down to 0.
