When  you added your new drive and mounted it as /home, did you do
anything to the old disk (repartition, reformat?) if not, then you've
probably got your new disk and its data mounted at /home. If you
unmount /home, you should be able to "uncover" your old /home on the
old drive and clean it up. Then remount the new drive on its /home
mountpoint.
