Disk critical

I've read at least a dozen threads about the very same issue and have yet been able to resolve mine. I get multiple emails warning me that my disk is 93% full. DISKCRITICAL: / on x.x.x.x (x.x.x.x): 17.06/19.38 GB - 93%? I've tried cleaning out log files and the tmp directory aswell as other places and that brought me down to 60% for a few weeks, then today I got the same emails saying I was back up to 93%. This is even more confusing because my backup and home directories are on separate partitions and drives where I keep all of my files. I tried listing some info to narrow down my search for files to removes and got the following.
du -ksh /* 0 /_ 395G /backup 7.3M /bin 11M /boot 280K /dev 28M /etc 12G /home 36K /latest 11M /lib 27M /lib64 16K /lost+found 4.0K /media 4.0K /mnt 30M /opt du: cannot access `/proc/23382/task/23382/fd/4': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/proc/23382/task/23382/fdinfo/4': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/proc/23382/fd/4': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/proc/23382/fdinfo/4': No such file or directory 0 /proc 823M /root 25M /sbin 0 /scripts 4.0K /selinux 4.0K /srv du: cannot access `/sys/kernel/slab/L2TP/IPv6': No such file or directory du: cannot access `/sys/kernel/slab/L2TP/IP': No such file or directory 0 /sys 4.0K /test 1016K /tmp 5.4G /usr 2.3G /var
If you exclude /backup and /home because they are on separate partitions and add up everything else its around 10G which should put me south of 60% usage which doesn't seem to be the case. Not sure where this extra 8G is coming from. Here is the output of df -h

  Hello :) The output of "df -h" does show:
  rootfs 20G 18G 1.1G 95% /
  The following document will help explain how to determine where the usage is coming from: cPanel - Manage HD Space It's also possible that processes with open files are using space. You could try rebooting your server to see if that helps reflect the accurate amount of space used. Thank you.

  A hard reboot fixed my problem and put me at about 50% usage. Thanks.
