I got a private message from a former netgear employee telling me to uninstall mysql and delete the file.
"You must have installed apps that use MySQL or installed things manually via SSH at some point to have MySQL installed. Uninstall MySQL and then delete the MySQL database if it's still there."
I ran the following commands to get rid of it
! mounted the volume mount --bind / /mnt cd /mnt ! Confirmed which folder had the files by running this command until I found the large file du -csh /mnt/* du -csh /mnt/var/*
du -csh /mnt/var/lib/*
du -csh /mnt/var/lib/mysql/*
! Uninstall mysql apt-get remove --purge 'mysql-.*' ! delete the file left after uninstall rm /mnt/var/lib/mysql/ibdata1I'm back to normal levels
