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

57M /etc

0 /initrd.img

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.
