There could be a process which has an open filehandle to this file. The
file isn't deleted until all filehandles are closed.
Try to install /usr/ports/sysutils/lsof and look for the open handle. E.g.
lsof | grep <filename>
Kill the process and the freespace should grow. If this doesn't work
or there is no open handle try do go to single user mode an force an
fsck on this fielsystem.
