Further to bartus11 , the fuser command can tell you which processes have files open on a filesystem - even if you cannot see the files.
A tidy shutdown of all applications followed by a reboot should give you the true disc space.
If you have cleanup routines which delete files, they may need review to make sure that they do not delete files which are open by an application.
