Out of disk space yet sum of VMs usage is small

Hi there,
Proxmox noob here. I received an IO error on one of my VMs and realized that I was out of space. Looking at the Summary display for local-lvm did indeed show I was out. So I removed some test VMs and confirmed the disks were gone by looking at the VM Disks display. While the amount of used space did drop somewhat on the Summary display, it's still much higher than the sum of the usage of the disks on VM Disks. Something like 800GB shown used while the total for the disk is less than 400GB.

Can you point me in the right direction to resolve this? Many thanks in advance.
Dave
 
Please post the output of this 4 commands.

Code:
pvesm status
pvs
vgs
lvs
 
I think that last command suggests that it's my snapshots that are the problem..
