I usually do a find search based on file size

find / -size +1000000 -print

The above examples is any files over a GB. I usually do it as root so it can 
hit every directory. I usually start high and work my way down to see if I can 
find any files that are taking up too much space and may not be needed.

My 250GB ext3 disk on Ubuntu 10.4 is full.  I can't find more than 20GB worth 
of data on the disk.  Disk Usage Analyzer and GUI file tools show the disk with 
only 10GB free.  Disk utility and e2fsck show the drive as fine so I can't get 
it to repair itself.  Even so I have about 220GB of mystery data on the disk.
