Your request is too general for a meaningful answer.
First off, space on a file system is taken up by "files". If you want
to find out where the space is missing, "du" is a good command.
Files live on file systems, so "sda2" (the device) is pretty meaningless
in this context [1]. Let's assume /dev/sda2 is mounted on / -- then
sudo du -sh /*
will give you, directory for directory, where the space goes (the option
"-s" says "summary", the option "-h" is for "human readable" (i.e. it
would say "1.2G" instead of "1201345", for example).
Then you can work your way down. May be you find a file you "know" and
decide you can remove it. Maybe you aren't sure -- then the next step
would be to find out which program is generating those files.
There are many details I left off, but you'd have to be more specific
if you want more specific help.
