So I get this in my terminal:

Yes, sorry, I ran du -sch /* as per Nik Klepp's recommendation.
Sorry, I don't always recognize that you haven't followed the threads. I try to be clear.
4.0K /afs 11M /bin 160M /boot 0 /dev 57M /etc 26G /home 0 /initrd.img 0 /initrd.img.old 576M /lib 4.0K /live-build 16K /lost+found
Nothing looks too much out of the ordinary; I already can account for everything in my /home directory, I think, and next biggest is /lib. So how does 18 gb vanish?
Sorry for asking a dumb question, but what makes you say that 18GB has vanished?
Well, I have allotted 18 gb for my root partition, and kdf shows me as having 169.5 mb free at the moment. Before I rebooted (just now), I had about 262 mb, I think it was. A couple weeks ago, I had over 1 gb free, and I haven't downloaded anything.
Also, I'm a little disturbed by the fact that you don't appear to have a / partition, although I'm not up to date with the brave new world of systemd, maybe there's no such thing anymore...
I said this earlier, but here are my partitions:
sda1 / 18 gb sda2 swap 4 gb sda3 /home 78 gb (more or less)
What do you get when you run this?
df --si
/dev/sda1 18G 17G 178M 99% / udev 11M 0 11M 0% /dev tmpfs 423M 6.7M 416M 2% /run tmpfs 1.1G 0 1.1G 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 5.3M 4.1k 5.3M 1% /run/lock tmpfs 1.1G 0 1.1G 0% /sys/fs/cgroup /dev/sda3 77G 28G 46G 38% /home tmpfs 212M 13k 212M 1% /run/user/1000
Looks like tmpfs has the most used up.
