    Have deleted any file that hold by a running process, you can check by executing ''lsof | grep deleted'', and restart process if any – Vaibhav Panmand Oct 07 '16 at 09:38

It is possible data exists in the mount points and was hidden when the file systems were mounted.

On Linux you can show what is there with a bind mount. 

mkdir /mnt/root  
mount --bind / /mnt/root 
du -s /mnt/root/*

Conveniently under here every other file system is just an empty mount point so you can just sum up everything.

The files removed by any application or any user (think rm command) do not release the space, until the file is closed by all the applications (processes) that have it open. Use lsof2 and look for deleted files, restart the applications that are keeping them open.
