OK, lets do this systematically:

df  -- will show you how much space you have left

du -sx /*  -- will sum up the diskspace your "toplevel" directories use
(excluding your /usr and /var which are on different partitions)

find / -xdev -size 500k -- will find all files bigger then 500k on your
disk (excluding your /usr and /var which are on different partitions)  

You could also check if /usr and /var *are* on different partitions 
(cat /etc/mtab)

Ciao,
