start with du.
as root:
cd /home
du -s *
This will tell you were the bulk lies. Then go into that directory
and repeat the du.
I also wrote a script that will do a du in a directory, and sort the
results, giving you a sorted list of usage.
#!/bin/bash
du -s * | awk '{printf("%6s %s\n", $1, $2)}' | sort
