Delete folders but dont see reduction in percentage used

I'm trying to clean up my link station LS210DEE5 by deleting several large folders but I don't see a reduction in percentage used.

The most common cause of this is from users not purging myloweslife various Trash Bins in their cloud. The most common is the Google Drive Trash Bin. First, be advised that deleting data from locations that are either in your Cloud or in folders on your computer synced to the Cloud, does kohls charge not completely delete them for a while. Essentially in the Cloud is a Drive Trash Bin that works very similar to your Windows Recycle Bin. Anything that the Cloud sees as being "deleted", either on your computer or directly in the Cloud, is moved to this Drive Trash Bin but not permanently deleted. Until it's permanently deleted it still counts to your total storage usage. I will include a diagram showing you how to see the Drive Trash Bin

Thank you for your response. I checked with Buffalo support and they advised me that sometimes when you delete large files the space is not freed up right away. They advised me to power off and then back on which I did and even after that it took a while before I saw a reduction in the percentage used.
