I am having disk space issues with my CentOS server, a single user is using up to 1,7tb of data, or it is what the du -sh* /home command is telling. But when you enter the user folder and use the du -hscx * command, it tells you that the user is in fact using 480gb of space. I simply can't identify what is using the extra 1.3tb of space. Is there anyone here who knows how to deal with this problem?

Thank you very much

`du -hscx *` does not look into hidden directories and files (starting with a `.`). – Gerald Schneider Aug 20 '19 at 11:23
