Battery Drain + Full Filesystem

Hello and sorry if this question has been asked before. Couldn't find one that matches.

The thing is last night, around 00:00 am I went to bed and my phone was fully charged (probably not full but 90% at least, I'd left it charging the entire evening up to 23:00 pm). Then at around 5:00 am I woke up and noticed the phone had less than 15% battery left and, what worries me, a Filesystem almost full notification.

I charged the phone until 8:00 am and the battery behavior has been normal for the entire day. However the storage full notification is still there (tried rebooting but couldn't get it to go). The thing is I don't have that many apps installed and I don't download many things into the phone. Only WhatsApp's videos and images. That was the first place I looked into, but its Media folder was less than 200 MB, which shouldn't hog the entire internal storage (5.5 GB reported by Android).

Perhaps (probably actually), I'm being too paranoid, but I think something of great size may have been downloaded last night which drained the battery. Is there any easy way to list the folders by size? I've tried dozen of apps that claim to do this, but always summing the sizes of the folders was way less than the filesystem capacity. I tried to do it mounting the device in my Debian machine but couldn't manage to do it at the time, but with some assist, I think that last way could be the way to go.

- Has anyone experienced the combination of battery drain + full storage without any other notification?
- Can someone help me in tracking internal storage usage?

My Moto G (2014) is unrooted and running official Marshmallow from Motorola.

In any case, thank you for your time if you've read until here.

Cheers,
