Yes. Everything on your system that doesn't fall under /usr and /var is
under / which includes /home. If you have been packing files into your
/home/<user> directory then that is a likely culprit.  Don't be confused
by /usr as that is NOT where user files are kept. That is where the bulk
of your software will go, however.
