Deleting Files

I copied about 2G of files from one Windows Drive to another
Windows drive (one machine to another) in my house to give more
room to the first machine.  I did this from my Linux box using
SAMBA to access the two drives.

The copy worked fine then after checking to make sure everything
was OK I deleted the directory all of these files were under
(again from Linux).

I did  a quick DF and there was no additional space on the
Windows drive.  I went to the windows machine and checked the
space.  No improvement.  So I did a defrag on the windows machine
and no improvement in the space being reported.

HELP!  the directory is gone along with about 2G of files but I
seem to have lost the space too.

Suggestions?
