A shot in the dark - has it anyhing to do with the file system. FAT (FAT16) only supports 2GB. Is it possible you had seperate partitions or something?
From your description it could not be this but worth looking at how the card s formatted.
A good ref on this sibject:

At first, thank you very much for your help! I went a pragmatic way and saved the data on my PC, formated the card and retransfered the data.
The output of df - h says - now - that the card has a size of 3.7G.
Still, if there is a general way to handle such issues, I am still interested how to identify and to remove obsolete data.
Again, thanks a lot!

All times are GMT. The time now is 01:58.
I have a 4 GB external memory card in my n810. To tinker with Navit I removed a rather large movie. IIRC the card was inserted directly into the USB port of my desktop PC. Yet, it seems that no card space was available. If I select all files (including the hidden files) they sum up to 2.1 GB. 10 folders comprising a total of 1 GB and the debian-final.img.ext2 (easyDebian) has about 1.1 GB.
Now I wonder if there is a way to clear / format unused diskspace? Your help is welcome.
Yours,
