Check out the link I posted to screenshots I took. I may have completely misunderstood.

Yes, you did. The image in the link you posted above (post 3) shows 7.9GB for your swap partition which is unrelated. You don't have a /home partition as everything is on the / partition so apparently it was whatever Steam does on the download.

Type

Code:

$ df -h

Look for the entry with a lot of disk space. Make note of the mount point (last column).

Then, look at that mount point

Code:

$ ls mount_point

There should be nothing there. Make a directory inside the mount point

Code:

$ sudo mkdir /path/to/mount_point/new_directory

Set the permissions on the new directory

Code:

sudo chown -R user_name:  /path/to/mount_point/new_directory

and put everything big in /home in the new directory.
