You filled the disk.

When you say "Home Directory", what _partition_ are you on?
(lots of systems don't partition /home/ from /)

If you've been playing with building a lot of docker images, that can
fill up /var/lib/docker quite quickly (I do, and I've currently got 218G
of data just there)

I suspect video processing & image editing can leave large caches behind.

try running "sudo du -hs /*" to see which directory tree has all the
space.... and then descent the tree to pinpoint the problem
