Volume Storage out of control

Our FAS2240-2 has a volume that is growing for unexplained reasons.  How can I determine what's using all the space and stop it without deleting the volume?

A week ago four VMware vm's that used the the volume locked up when it ran out of space.  One vm was deleted to free up working space.  Gradually over the next few days it kept growing, even though the vm's should not have been increasing in size.  All vm's have since been moved to other volumes and volume snaps were deleted.  While browsing the datastore from Vsphere the volume shows to be empty but OnCommand reports 97% used;  54GB available of 1.8TB. 

Thanks,

Dan
