You haven't - perhaps - dumped 'stuff' into 'things' under /mnt when
those 'things' were *not* mounted - have you?
I did that once. I have 2 HD's, and the "extra" space on each was set
to /mnt/spare_a/ and /mnt/spare_b/ -- but, not mounted automatically.
On one occasion I DL'd a couple of ISO's into my 'large' spare_b
partition. But, since this bone-head had not mounted it at the time, it
was all nicely saved for me in the / partition. It took me a while to
notice that I had stepped on my own dick.
Just for ref:
|$ df

Your / seems HUGE, there.
