It's probably someplace in /usr... If you've installed some "third
party" apps, they tend to like putting themselves in /usr/local/bin,
etc.

You can always do:

cd /
du -h . | less

and scroll through your whole filesystem to see which directories are
taking up the most space.  There are also other switches for 'du' that
will let you summarize 1/2/3/etc directories deep so you don't actually
have to look at *every* directory. Or start in /usr and then do the
scan...
