My wife's G4 iMac runs 10.5. It has a 250 GB hard drive (233 GB formatted). Right now it shows 3.59 GB available. But when I go to the top level of the Finder and look at the various folders (Applications, Users, System, etc.) the drive should be largely empty.

I have had problems before with OS X not showing correct folder size info on User folders except for the user who is logged in. But I'd think the top level Users folder would be right.

How can I find out what's filling up the drive?

Thanks.
