you can use 'du -h' in the Terminal to find out the disk space used by
each directory. This can help you track down the files. (it will examine
all subdirectories as well, so running it from your home directlry or from
the OS X partition root directory can give a lot of data).

What about caches (web browser, etc.), log files, your mail file?
Have you run the daily/weekly/monthly maintanence scripts lately (or has
the computer been awake to run them on their own)?
