What exactly did you do?
What I suggested was:

  du / -hx --max-depth=1

(this doesn't show th e mount points like /home or /sys)
If this does not add up to ~ 470 MB, then

  mount --bind / /mnt
  du /mnt -hx --max-depth=1

If this adds up to ~ 470 MB, there's something stored under a mount point.
After cleaning that don't forget to

  umount /mnt
