Check crash reporter log file for disk space usage
Authored by: demmons65 on Aug 03, '05 12:49:32PM

From the Terminal, type:

cd /
then
du -hs *

You can quickly see the big directories and investigate further.

If you are in a subfolder already, like /Users/username/Desktop, you will get only those items residing from that directory down.

You may want to pipe the output to a file so:

du -hs * > /Users/username/Desktop/sizes.txt

and to really see *everything*, use sudo in front of the whole shebang.
sudo du -hs *
Password:

etc.
