What is taking up so much space on my disk, beside the filesystem?

I'm a bit curious as to why my hard drive space, according to Disk Usage Analyzer, has 20 GB more used space than the space my files take up. Here's a screenshot:

enter image description here

On "/", it says that only 121.1 GB is used, but apparently 141.1 GB is used. I have 3 partitions on my HDD: a GRUB partition, my Ubuntu partition, and a 3 GB Swap Partition.

So, any thoughts? I really would like to know if I can make this 141.1 GB shrink to the 120 GB that it should be.

  • @izx, whenever I either come upon a question that is a duplicate and/or have a duplicate question myself, should I both flag AND add that to the question? – Ryan McClure Jun 21 '12 at 07:42
  • No, I added that manually, it's only added automatically when a question is actually closed as a duplicate (by mod or on reaching 5 votes). Flagging it is sufficient; once you reach 2k rep, flagging will also automatically add the "Possible duplicate.." comment. – ish Jun 21 '12 at 07:47
