[SOLVED] Volume information incorrect

I woke up this morning to find that I had 64 MB left on my external ext3 backup drive. When I left it last night I had ~30 GB left! Some relevant output:

df -h /media/Seagate500/
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdc1             459G  436G     0 100% /media/Seagate500

sudo du -h --max-depth=1
354G    ./Videos
16K    ./lost+found
82G    ./Backups
436G    .

I know I have the space because I can copy files onto the drive albeit using sudo. Gparted displays the information correctly (http://imgur.com/BfbRf.png). What the hell is going on?

Re: [SOLVED] Volume information incorrect

Figured out my issue, accidentally backed up files in the trash that were taking up a lot of space. For some reason, they weren't being included in the du counts.
