PSA: Remember to also check hidden directories you don't even know about for waste of space
Apparently, Prism Launcher chose to adhere to the idiotic principle of the hidden "trashbin", .Trash-$(uid), invented by Ubuntu. Even though it's based on QT. This can't be disabled. It accumulated 139 GB of literal Trash, fully replaceable, over time. Just ... why? There's even an open issue about this, for over a year, referenced multiple times. I guess I have another point on my agenda.

I use ncdu. It shows what folders/files are actually eating up all your space.
I was about to suggest this. It comes with a nice TUI that sorts by highest disk usage.
Neat! I kept using du and df and work my way to the culprit. On PC's with GNOME I use baobab.
