deleting files does not free up disk space

The files are deleting. I have double checked by sshing to the box. I have deleted gigs of files but the amount of space reported using df -m does not ever go up. Is there something that needs to be done to purge the files permanently like recycle bin on windows?

Thanks
Martin

    The files are probably in /data/.purge

    How big are the files?
