Are you sure you deleted the file, or did you just move it to the trash? 
If you just, e.g., press the Delete key, you're only moving the file to 
the trash. SHIFT-Delete will actually remove the file immediately. 
Furthermore, if you use SHIFT-Delete, you'll be asked a confirming 
question, since this is not undoable, while putting a file in the trash 
can be reversed (which is why the file's space is not reclaimed when 
you issue that command).
