Few weeks ago I deleted all posts (empty trash) and images (nothing else left in my media library) on one of my websites but disk usage showed 713.83 MB still left. How to completely remove it?

Depends on the hosting panel you're using - it could be your website, or it may includes site backups & stats logs, win which case you'll have to clean those out through FTP.

Contact your webhost and they might be able to help you identify the biggest files lurking on your account.
 
If you are on cpanel hosting, you can check disk usage. It will show listing of directories and files with disk usage.
 
The indicator on the control panel has some delay in displaying actual data usages.
After all cleanings done - better try to wait a few more hours and then check again.
Also you have your web hosting provider by the hand.
You can check that moment with them. Because in case you are using paid hosting services - that is actually what you pay them for.
 
I strongly suggest contact host.
There might be backup info on them files.
Be careful .
 
If you have ssh access check disk usage with the following command

Code:
du -sh * | sort -n

Mostly /var folder uses the most of the space (logs, mails etc).
 
i recommend you to contact support team of your host provider..
 
do you have ssh access or just ftp access for your account?
 
May be setup file which required to run hosting. Contact hosting provider
