I moved a lot of files from an external drive to my home folder and my drive got full. Then I deleted some files and no space is freed. This is when I run df -h
:

The files I've removed aren't open in any processes which i've checked with lsof. I've also rebooted the whole machine with no difference. I am not able to log in with graphical interface. I can only access text mode command line. I found that someone solved similar problem with running tune2fs -m1 /dev/sda1
to free some space but it doesn't make any difference to me. I don't know if this is important but I'm using an encrypted home folder. Whenever I try to create a file I get an error saying no space left on device. Even when I've just deleted a large file.
