How were they deleted? If you used Nautilus, then they may still be there. You needed to empty the "trash" for the disk space to be freed.

If the files are still being used by another application, they may not delete either.
/sbin/lsof will give you a list of open files and what has them opened.

There are two things that make storage not free up. 1. The file has hardlinks. You can tell by looking at ls -l -rw-r--r-- 1 steveo steveo 56 Apr 9 15:06 doc.txt
The "1" means that only one name points to those blocks of storage.
2. If multiple channels are open on a file and the file is deleted then the storage won't free up till the last channel on that file is closed.
Link count or open count.

Did you use shift-delete? If not, they are just marked for deletion - they appear in your wastebin. If that's the case, empty the wastebin.
You can easily see such effects in a terminal. Before you delete do
df -h
and again after you've deleted. You should see the difference, although it may not be obvious if you only delete a few small files.
