To Daveyboy,
I know what you mean.
First don't forget about Lite Tweaks. Menu->System->Lite Tweaks. You might have things in Trash, Package Cache, or Browser cache taking up space.
Secondly, try installing baobab (Gnome Disk Usage Analyzer). Menu->System->Install/Remove Software and do a search for "baobab". It's a good tool for showing you where your storage hog is.
Lastly, if you have an app that creates system restore points, some (like Timeshift) install the restore point on the root partition. I used Timeshift for the first time last night, and it filled up my 20GB root partition. I had to kill the process, uninstall Timeshift, and remove the /Timeshift folder from the root partition. After rebooting, I was back to just 7.6GB of use on my root partition.
Cheers.
