We had a similar problem as we deleted the /oracle tree without shutting
down the database. As long as a process accesses a file, the space is
claimed even when another process deletes it and even if the file is not
in any directory anymore.
So, make sure all ora_* (...) processes are killed and the disk will be ok.
BTW, this would rather belong to comp.databases.oracle.server
