You will have to find that our yourself by issuing one or two commands.

You say that 1GB is being used, how do you know?

In any case, a first exploratory command could be the following:

cd / ;  sudo du -k | sort -n

that should give you a quick glance of the directories that are using
the most space on your system.

If you have an idea  of where the big files are located then cd to
that directory first, that will save you some time.
