When deleting a file that is currently being used by a program, the disk
blocks are actually not freed up until the last process that has a closed the
file. Most likely one of the files you deleted was still being used.
I forgot to mention... I had NO programs running except for an xterm
with a shell in it, su to root. I had closed all window, and opened
only the one. I do use GNOME with X Window to manage the windows,
however. (I suppose it might have been a gnome-terminal.)
You can use lsof | grep \(deleted\) to check for that...
Thanks for that tip.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
