    df in Linux not showing correct free space after file removal

    Published Aug 24, 2020 [  FileSystem  ]

    Deleting the filename doesn’t actually delete the file. Some other process is holding the file open, causing it to not to be deleted; restart ot kill that process to release the file.

    Use

    lsof +L1

    to find our which process is using a deleted (unlinked) file.
