I have a 40Gb external LaCie USB hard drive, which until recently used
to contain all my data. I have now bought a 300gb internal drive to
move everything onto. But having moved some of the stuff over, for
various reasons I have now mucked up my debian install and want to
start afresh.
But, for some reason when I deleted my iTunes music library off the external
drive, it doesn't seem to quite have gone properly... weirdly the
drive still shows as full when running `df` but from my windows
installation (on a different HD) it shows as having 16G free space...?
The iTunes dir is no longer being listed on the drive, but it still
seems to be taking up space.
Which is inconvenient as I now have a large tar archive of my home
directory (containing the music) which I can't back up to reinstall
the OS. So any ideas on what's going on here and if/how I can reclaim
this free space, preferably without reformatting the drive (it still
has quite a bit of important stuff on).
Thanks!
P.S. df has this to say:
