Ive been going through trying to clean up unnecessary junk from my system the last few days. Ive deleted several unused packages, run bleachbit with and without root, deleted residual config files, run deborphan etc. and after all this, my system is 3 GB heavier than it was. Whats going on here??

For such cases, where you don't know where all the space went, there's a very useful tool: Baobab
Simply install it from the main repositories.
You can either look at an entire partition, or just a single folder (e.g. your home folder), and it gives you a detailled pie chart of which folders and files take up how much space.Kubuntu Raring Ringtail x64 w/ Kde 4.10.5

Almost all of this is in /usr. Out of all the disk space used, nearly 87% is in /usr and in /usr /lib /share and /local contain the majority of the data. Heres the readout of xdiskusage for /usr:

It seems that you have some debug packages installed (/usr/lib/debug...). They are taking almost 1 G (953,3M).Comment

Sometimes when there is a buggy app it can produce very big log files. They are in /var/log. I had log files bigger that 2 GB. From time to time I also clean .thumbnails folder on /home.Comment

As many of you know, I'm behind in checking, editing, updating my how-to's at KFN, but, who knows, maybe there's a tip or two in this one that might trigger some ideas:

Same way you installed them - by your favorite package manager.
