First off: you don't need sudo for this, ever.

Second: what kind of file system is this?

So I guess the question is "Where's the rest of that 35 G used data?"

Conspicuously missing from this output is /home.  Is that a separate
file system?  If so, you *could* have data inside the /home directory
of the root file system, which is hidden by the /home file system that's
mounted over it.  You'd need to unmount /home to check.  It's not a
super probable situation, but it's worth checking.

The same applies to any other directory that's got a file system mounted
on it.

Or... it could be some bizarre btrfs crap.  If this is a btrfs.
