Your "bdf" and your "du -sk" do not agree. There's about 4 Gigabytes difference. That's ignoring the fact that "du -sk" follows links and can be much higher than "bdf".
You should be using "du -skx" to stop "du" traversing into other filesystems.

If you have been deleting (not nulling) active logs you probably need a reboot.

Beware that some system logging processes stop working completely if you delete their logs. Be prepared to create an empty log with exactly the same permissions as before if you find that a logging process stops working.
