Check using KdIrStat (I have ver 2.4.4 that works on KDE 4.2.1- though
it says "using KDE 3.5.9. I have KDE 3.5.9 with it's KDE3 Base also
installed), else you can use FileLight
(http://www.methylblue.com/filelight/) to check what files take up how
much space.
Ncurses equivalent is ncdu (http://dev.yorhel.nl/ncdu/).
Also, it may help to check your log file directories....I quote from
this thread from openSUSE Forums:
http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2009-02/msg02348.html.
Though you may use a different flavor of Linux, this may be relevant
to your version also.
