    Check which folder is the biggest. I am going to go on a lim and say it probably is being caused by file roller

      It’s yay, which took up ~160 GiB. It was storing previous versions of AUR binaries which I guess added up over time. I posted a screenshot of ncdu outputs for a more detailed breakdown in one of the other reply threads
