du is another CLI tool that's really good at showing you where space is going.
$ cd /home
$ sudo du -s -m -c *
1 user1
47 user2
1 user3
1 user4
1 user5
1 user6
1 user7
1 user8
3 user9
50 total
The only gotcha would be if you show sizes in 1MB chunks like this, it rounds up to nearest megabyte, so the total may not add up to the original rounded values. The total is arrived at then rounded.
Where has my disk space gone?
