How do I reduce the size of var/tmp?

I have a 64GB storage on my Macbook Air and 16GB of tmp files are taking it all up. I want to reduce the size because I'm having trouble trying to manage with a very limited storage space.

Thank you! The problem has been solved without any doing any back ups!

I finally have 20GB of space and my Mac is performing much faster!
