I have deleted a bunch of music from iTunes on the Macbook Pro, but am not gaining any free space

disk-spacehard driveitunes

I am trying to clear off a lot of extra space on my hard drive. I started with about 90 gigs of music today when I had about 45 gigs of space left available. I just deleted almost 40 gigs worth of music from iTunes and emptied the trash. But it doesn't show any increase in available space.

I have been using the df -H terminal command to look at disk usage. This is the result:

I have also verified my disk, repaired it, and repaired permissions. Nothing is changing though.

I fixed the problem by resetting the PRAM and the NVRAM.
