Hello.
There was a problem, I can not understand that we are taking up disk space on my computer. I downloaded and uploaded files of several tens of Gigabytes, but deleted them at the same time.
df -h shows this https://nimbus.everhelper.me/client/notes/share/59...
if I click on the size of each folder, I see this https://nimbus.everhelper.me/client/notes/share/59 ...
Visually scanned and didn't see any large files. Browsing directories with "ncdu" didn't show any suspiciously large directories either. Where to dig?

If there is a graphical interface - I recommend baobab - it clearly shows what and how much it weighs.

And then for each suspiciously large directorydu ./ -sh

ncdu will help you if there is no graphical interface.
