To find out what files are taking up the space

Command line:

    du -hx --maxdepth=1 <directory> | sort -h

Start with the mountpoint of the drive and work your way through the 
directories.

Run as root if you get permission errors (e.g. you start at /)


Text user interface:

Press Ctrl+Space in mc to find out the size of directories, though the 
display is not so friendly for large sizes (KiB or B only).

ncdu uses adaptive units and a sort of graphical aid, but you'll have to 
go back to mc (or command line) to actually do something about it.


Graphical user interface:

My preferred tool for something like this would be one of the Total 
Commander clones, e.g. Tux Commander (package tuxcmd), but there is also 
Double Commander (doublecmd-gtk or doublecmd-qt, depending on your 
environment), as well as Krusader (package krusader, all the bells and 
whistles, but also heavier).


Solutions depend a lot on what is using up your space.


Hope this helps,
Andrei
