May I suggest the following command in order to see where files may be hidden?

  du -hx --max-depth=1 / | sort -h

It may take a longer time to complete. It only examines the root partition.
It should also show hidden disk usage in case something is mounted on a
directory with files in it.
The command can also be used for mounted partitions, e.g.,

  du -hx --max-depth=1 /home | sort -h

On my system the first command shows among other directories

...
4.0K    /home
...

and the second command

16K     /home/lost+found
...
41G     /home
