MySQL Disk is Full but really does not contain huge data

Hi All,

My disk usage show 100 % . When I check “df –kh” it shows my root partition is full. But when I run the “du –skh /” shows only 7 GB is used.

Code:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 30G 28G 260MB 100% /

How I can identify who is using the 20 GB of memory.
Os: Centos 5.5

Thanks,
Kalai
