Hallo,
I just had the problem that I was running out of disc space on my Kodi-OS-SD-Card. So I deleted a folder with ~5GB of Files using FileZilla.
After that, the space is still used!
I rebooted the Raspberry Pi, but the space is still full with 98%!
Is there some kind of trash bin or another thing I have to consider when deleting files to free space??
Thank you very much!!

No, there is no trash bin. What folder did you delete?
How are you determining that the space is still used, maybe your method is flawed.
Connect to your Pi using ssh and paste the output of "df -h".

It was a custom folder (/media/NZBget/interdir/SomeTVShow.S05E08) from my NZBget Downloader.
I just looked up the System Info in the xbian interface on my TV...
Here is what df -h says (exact the same):
Filesystem________Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs____________7.2G 6.7G 182M 98% /
/dev/mmcblk0p2___7.2G 6.7G 182M 98% /
devtmpfs_________362M 4.0K 362M 1% /dev
none_____________74M 256K 74M 1% /run
/dev/mmcblk0p2___7.2G 6.7G 182M 98% /home
/dev/mmcblk0p2___7.2G 6.7G 182M 98% /lib/modules
/dev/mmcblk0p1___34M 21M 14M 62% /boot

/media/NZBget/interdir/SomeTVShow.S05E08 wouldn't have been your SD card, but instead a disk connected to your USB port.
Your SD card is mounted from /dev/mmcblk0p2, and yes you're running short on space. Hard to suggest what you should remove as I'm not familiar with XBian, but purging your thumbnail/texture cache is usually a good start - use the script in my sig (texturecache.py P) to do this automatically, or search the forum and install the addon that does something similar (some of the time).

I don't know... but I'm pretty sure, that "/media/NZBget/" is on the SD-Card. In the /media directory was 1 folder at the beginning (Volume -> a mounted HDD on USB) and a link "usb0" linking to the same folder (/media/Volume).
I created the NZBget-directory inside /media myself. So I thougt, it would be on the SD-Card. (ok, that may not be the correct way to do this, but I didn't know where else to put the NZBget-Folder and especially the interdir-folder, which is supposed to be on another drive (e.g. the sd-card) as the download-folder)
Also, if I disconnect the USB-HDD, I can still access the NZBget-Folder.
I can not imagine, how the space could get this full! But when I subtract these 5GB, it leaves a usage of 1.7G, what seems reasonable to me...
Is there any way to determine, which file or which folders are using most of the space?

Are you still seeing the space used with df -h? I am out of ideas to find the space easily.
