You have to figure out where it is. You can use du -h to see it in human 
term. A common problem in /usr is leaving /usr/ports/.../work and 
distfiles.

You probably have some large logs left behind in /var. It is also 
another place you have to find them manually and clean up. I log 
everything and created 1.5 GB /var. It takes awhile but then I still 
have to clean up.
