du -hd1 /

That will tell you what directories are using your space.

Before you do that, (it can be time-consuming on big drives) you may
want to look in /tmp and /var, (/var/log can get big unexpectedly)
If you do a lot of work as root, check root's home directory (/root)
to make sure it isn't full of config data, core dump files, etc.
Sometimes a "find / -name "*.core" -delete" can work wonders.
