I don't know how konqueror does file system free space checks, but I would
verify with the standard command line tools. Try 'du --max-depth 1 -h' at a
prompt when your current directory is /home to see the actual usage in that
directory. If /home is a mount point, then 'df -h' will show you the actual
size and available space for that partition.
If you know the name of the lost file, you can search the entire filesystem
for it - maybe it got moved to another directory/mount point?. To do this,
try 'find / -name "yourfilename"', or if you have slocate installed, then
just 'locate filename' will do it more quickly.
