You could try something like
du -h | grep -E "^.{1,5}G"
from e.g., your home directory. This will report disk usage of each
FILE, recursively for directories (-h for human-readable sizes) and
pick only those lines that are reported using the Gigabyte unit.
Somewhere in the output of this command, you might find your problem.
Hope that helps,
Martin
