I've found the solution but it's really stupid and some kind tricky.

Background of problem
The thing is that I have an backup system (Simple Backup) that runs in 
background and doesn't show it's presence, so I didn't know that it was 
running. The backup was suppose to store about 4-5 GB of data on an external 
drive pluged-in by USB. The thing is that I setup the backup directory on 
/media/Backup1 where the drive was firstly automounted. After a couple of 
plugins and outs' (where there could be some without dismount) the mounting 
directory changed to /media/Backup1_ then Backup1__ and so on, without my 
knowledge (the name of the shortcut remained the same).

Now the main thing
When I was working I didn't know the backup was working (in a kind this means 
that this is a good backup system :]), I just saw a filling up disk space. Then 
I saw in Baobab that only 'windows' and 'media' are big. Because this external 
USB drive is about 500GB amount of 110GB was enough for him and too much for my 
Linux partition. I didn't check that part of this media directory was stored on 
my local drive and not on USB. So this was the problem - summary of linux 
mounting system + background jobs without notices + my false conviction.
