I suspect you would have seen 'du' and 'df' give back more reasonable values with just umounting and remounting the ecryptfs filesystem, no reboot needed. If a process still had the files open, killing the process might have been sufficient.
However, 'du' and 'df' are blunt instruments -- with modern filesystems, ten gigabytes of files may take more or less than ten gigabytes of disk space, and before they have been flushed, may not appear to exist at all. Are you actually getting ENOSPC error returns in your programs because you're full? Most applications handle this poorly.
