total disk space used on a node for a CF is too large than expected

 row size is 10 KB and write count on a node for a CF is 1054451,
so ideally the total disk space used on that node by that CF should be
around 10 GB
but it's showing  23 GB
what else might be taking up so much space?

Thanks

Disk space includes:
1. Live SSTable files (Data, Index, Filter)
2. Garbage (compacted) SSTable files.

For each column, except for the value bytes, there are anditional bytes
include (2+columnname+1+8)

you should read the "cassandra disk space utilization" thread.

what does WriteCount signify actually, it should also include writes which
are replicas right? It is total no of writes on that node for that CFtill
now, right ?
