You could use a tool like GrandPerspective http://grandperspectiv.sourceforge.net/ to give you more detail on how you're disk space is being used.

Take a look at OmniDiskSweeper, JDisk Report or GrandPerspective to see where your HDD space went to.

And you can take screenshots inside Mac OS X.

There are a few things you can try:

• Search with Finder to see if the space is being consumed by a very large file or several large files. Adjust the 50GB in the illustration to whatever size you deem appropriate.
  
  
• For Time Machine users on Lion, Time Machine local snapshots may be consuming space.
• Use one or more of the apps already suggested. Sometimes they don't show the same thing, so try a few of them
