Perhaps some program still uses some (deleted) files.

Here's how you can achieve a similar effect manually:

# dd if=/dev/zero of=/file

And on another terminal:

# rm -f /file


Now watch your space decreasing with "df -h", although "the file was deleted". Was it really?

# lsof -n|grep /file
dd 6406 root 1w REG 8,1 807791616 45 /file (deleted)



That said, you might want to use lsof and search for "deleted" before concluding any further.
