Running Ubuntu 10.04 and nearly all my drive space is gone.

Of course it's not mounted. I read that chmod 0 /sbin/debugfs could fix the problem, but now it just won't mount despite changing the permission to 777. This is a VM running on VirtualBox. I have done a file system check which ran fine.
What is this directory and how can I remove it from the system?
