That happens if there are processes that still hold the
files open which you deleted. As long as a process is
accessing the file data, the space is not reclaimed by
the file system.
Find the process (or processes) and kill it (or them).
/usr/bin/fstat (or lsof from the ports collection) might
be helpful.
If you prefer a windows solution, you can also simply
reboot. ;-)
