My main os is partitioned for 89GB which has typically been plenty in the past.Running KDE Neon stable It was out of space and locking up so I booted into another partition and ran baobab against it. It says 65 GB is the size of home but the graphic and detailed list don't show the whole picture. Only about 6GB. Any ideas? Thanks,Frank

No one jumped on this yet?
Almost certainly (assuming baobab isn't buggy) there's a/some huge file/files in your home dir itself, not a subdir. Try:
ls -ailSrh /home/frank
If that doesn't show you some honkin' files, then try:
ls /home/frank |wc -l
and see if you get a silly number of smaller files (like thousands+). Even then, they'd have to be pretty big files.
Is /home/frank on a separate device (<5% probability on this guess)? Over-mounting is a good way of hiding stuff. :)
Force an fsck in single user mode and then it's time to start inode and extent hunting.
