This is a unix thing, not necessarily Oracle.
When you delete a file on unix, it will remain on disk as long
as there is an existing process holding the file open.
You will see the space reclaimed when the database is bounced.

Hi,
Just curious if anyone has any experience with an EMC
Symmetrix not releasing the space for a deleted
datafile. If so, is there a solution or work-around?
Yesterday, we took a tablespace offline, dropped it
and then deleted the associated datafile. The file was
1G in size and today the space has still not been
released as indicated by 'df -k'. According to another
DBA here, they have seen this in the past and said
bouncing the DB remedied the problem.
It sounds like the inodes are still in use by Oracle
but I can't imagine why. I've worked with Symmetrix
systems before and have never experienced this
behavior. We are running 8.1.7.2 (64bit) on Solaris
2.8. Any suggestions?
As always, your feedback is appreciated.
