Akhil, I agree with you that the node still has unwanted data, but why it has more data than before cleaning up?
More background: Before cleaning up, the node has 790GB data. After cleaning up, I assume it should has less data. But in fact it has 1000GB data which is larger than I expected. Cassandra daemon crashed and left the files with the name with "tmp-" prefix in the data directory which indicate the cleaning up task was not complete.

The new node is now responsible for data previously stored in the old node. The clean up process removes unwanted data after adding a new node to the cluster. In your case clean up failed on this node. I think this node still has unwanted data that has not been cleaned up.
