Did you configure the working file repository and the workspace to live on the 
same disk or share? If so, all if the 11GB in :workspace should be hard links 
to corresponding files in /files.

Second, do you have the "cleanup" operation in your workflow? This should clear 
both the workspace and the working file repository from a workflow's temporary 
files but will also disable you from going back to a recording and do things 
like reencode because you are removing everything but the distribution 
artifacts.

This will mostly leave you with 6.5 GB of distribution material.
