Without adding new software, you may find it useful to look at your 
major folders in list view with the size option checked.  For example, 
open the hard drive window.  Click on Applications.  Select the List 
View in the upper left corner or find that in the View menu.  In the 
View menu, select Show View Options.  Click the boxes for Size and 
Calculate All Sizes.  Back in your Applications window, click at the 
top of the Size column and perhaps click there again to bring the 
largest sizes to the top of the column.

You may need to also look at your Applications folder in your Home 
account in case you or someone installed applications there which would 
not appear in the hard drive window.
