You are confusing things. The lost+found directory is designed to contain files that have been disconnected from the file system after some operating system dysfunction like a power failure. By convention, they are relocated by fsck under the lost+found directory in their file system root. This is unrelated with unlinked files which are no more on the file system but still use disk space. The latter can be easily detected by looking for regular files with 0 links under /proc/<pid>/fd/*.
