I know you found the problem folder but What I do is:
du -x / | sort -n | tail -n 10
It will scan the the root partition, but not other file systems,
sort the list in order of file size and display the 10 most offending
files.
Change the number in "| tail -n 10" to another number to get a
longer/shorter list
