I'd like to report a strange problem. I was
        backing up my desktop last night to an external usb disk last
        night. The backup failed to complete because I completely filled
        up the disk. 

        
        df -h

        /dev/sdf1       1.4T  1.4T     0 100% /media/dz/5540d70d-...

        
        So this morning I deleted (using sudo rm -rf) an old directory
        on the usb disk which had about 30 GB of data in it. Now the
        problem is that df still reports the disk is completely full --
        even after rebooting.


        /dev/sdf1       1.4T  1.4T     0 100% /media/dz/5540d70d-...

        
        Can someone please explain to what is going on here?

        
        Thanks
