Different used disk space with du and quota.

Dear members
From my /work directory by going into it, when I type
Quote:
the total disk storage occupancy is 145 GB.
However, from my general folder, when I type
Quote:
to get the folder occupancy, it shows around 1000G.
Filesystem space quota limit grace files quota limit grace
/dev/mapper/vgdata-work
Quote:
500G 800G 25days 159k 10000k 50000k
/dev/mapper/vgdata-home
37061M 51200M 100G 196k 1000k 5000k
It is really surprising and I am unable to solve the mystery against this 145G/1000G.
Please suggest how to rectify this issue? If my file storage size is 145 G, then why my quota for the work directory shows 1000G? Are there some hidden files which I need to delete? Byt, how can I find them?
thanks
