Usually what I’ll do is to run

[df -h](http://linux.die.net/man/1/df) and see which file system is taking up most of the disk space and then try to narrow down the scope with [du -h](http://linux.die.net/man/1/du) with an optional `--max-depth=1` to find the offending file/folder. Another tool that you might want to checkout is [ncdu](http://linux.die.net/man/1/ncdu)
