These 2 folders (files and info) should be empty when you emptied your
trash.

There is a command line utility called du(1). The du command will give you a
list of files and folders and their respective size. You can use this
utility to determine why your disk is full.

Note that there are many other things that can cause disk usage.
First, is your /home directory a mounted file system or is it part of the
root file system? The df(1) command will list your mounted file systems and
tell you what their utilization is. You may find that there may be some log
files that are being created and not compressed by the log file rotation.
