You should have the useradd (and usermod and userdel) command. How is
it you think you don't?
(If you are su-ing to root, be sure to "su -" so that you get all of
root's environment, especially his PATH, which includes /sbin and
/usr/sbin.)

If you
cd
du -s
you get all space consumed by your HOME directory. Then to get it
broken down by directory (including ".*" directories and files), do
du -s `ls -A` | less
(Those backticks (`) are the key above the [Tab] key on most
keyboards.) When you see a large directory, say, ".foobar", you can
cd .foobar
du -s `ls -A` | less
Keep doing that until you've sufficiently narrowed things down.

Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become
blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and
depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as
you hold out the word of life -- in order that I may boast on the day
of Christ that I did not run or labor for nothing.
Philippians 2:14-16 (NIV)
