If you delete any file for which the system still has an open file handle then the space taken up by that file is not recovered untill the file handle(s) are closed.
The file you deleted was probably open by a process that is still running. Rebooting is an extreme (if guarneteed) method of fixing. You should be able to us lsof (if installed) to find the process.

curlopt_maxconnects
CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3) curl_easy_setopt options CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3)
NAME
CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS - maximum connection cache size
SYNOPSIS
#include <curl/curl.h>
CURLcode curl_easy_setopt(CURL *handle, CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS, long amount);
DESCRIPTION
Pass a long. The set amount will be the maximum number of simultaneously open persistent connections that libcurl may cache in the pool
associated with this handle. The default is 5, and there isn't much point in changing this value unless you are perfectly aware of how this
works and changes libcurl's behaviour. This concerns connections using any of the protocols that support persistent connections.
When reaching the maximum limit, curl closes the oldest one in the cache to prevent increasing the number of open connections.
If you already have performed transfers with this curl handle, setting a smaller CURLOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3) than before may cause open connec-
tions to get closed unnecessarily.
If you add this easy handle to a multi handle, this setting is not acknowledged, and you must instead use curl_multi_setopt(3) and the
CURLMOPT_MAXCONNECTS(3) option.

5
