Did you have a lot of data before and you deleted all that data? ext4 if I
remember correctly doesn't decrease size of directory once it expands it.
So in ext4 inside a directory if you create lots and lots of files and
delete them all, the directory size would increase at the time of creation
but won't decrease after deletion. I don't have any system with ext4 at the
moment to test it now. This is something we faced 5-6 years back but not
sure if it is fixed in ext4 in the latest releases.
