as some others pointed out, it's rather strange to fill that amount of
space on /, if you have {home,usr,var,tmp} mounted from other
partitions. if you can't find the culprit files in /opt or /root, they
may exist in /var or /tmp *on your root partition*. to check this:

$ sudo mkdir /mnt/root
$ mount --bind / /mnt/root
$ ls -la /mnt/root/{home,usr,var,tmp}

if there is anything in there, you should probably (re)move it
good luck,
