Invisible files using disk space

Hello
I have a disk with 8 partitions

And I wanted to delete a 23gb file. I dragged the folder to the trash, and the file disappeared, but later I checked the avail space with df -h and the 23gb were still there, but the folder is not visible.
Later I was searching how to delete archives, and I discovered that dragging was not the form to do it.
Now I don't know how to delete the 23gb because I don't see it.
When I dragged the folder to the trash, this cursor appeared: OwGEV58.png
Also, the 23gb folder was in /home and the trash in desktop… I don't know if this matters but just in case.
Do you have any help?
Thank you for reading

Re: Invisible files using disk space

This isn't a Xfce issue but a system question. However when you move something to trash it isn't deleted, it is in trash and can be restored. In Thunar you can delete completely with shift + delete. However there is no way back from that, the file is gone and can't be restored.
