2 weeks i ago i installed ubuntu, all fine and took like 800mb. atm i'm on 3,2 GB usage. i totally don't get it:/
any1 know which folders i should look where might be files that shouldn't be saved?
last commands ive used were:
that stuff all went wrong, and couldnt login into my account anymore caus my partition was full. i deleted some Wine folders in /home/ and could login again.
But this isnt correct. 3,2 GB in use. there must be something using it that shouldn't
"i deleted some Wine folders in /home/ and could login again.

You should try deleting wine using apt. That should clean out everything that you put on the partition when you tried to install wine. Section 6 of this manual tells you how to clean things up.
#It obviously says you are using 2.6GB of your storage space. Now I am not sure what the command is for finding WHICH files take up the most space so they could be deleted. I think the command is du / -h. check man du.
I've installed wine, winex, and cedega before. They barely take up any space and work just fine. Take kimx's advice and delete the files apt created to install wine.
I just tried the same commands on my system, and the build dir "/home/*/wine-0.0.20050310" used up my 1004M home partition, so you should gain a lot of space by removing that, I'l try to build using my main partition and see how much space it takes up.
In total installing wine the same way as you did, gave me 1G more on my harddrive, but I had mos of the dependensies installed before, so on a fresh system the increse would have been much larger. And I cold remove 800M by typing "rm -r *wine*" in the dir which I used to build wine. But I think that most of the space that were used on your system came from wine's dependensies, which as far as I remember includes some kde libs.
but where?
thinking of just formatting, but that doesn't make me very happy.. hehe
I searched almost all folders manually, can't find any stuff.don't know much about linux system files etc so dunno what what is
kinda sux
