gfs2 filesystem won't free up space when files are

Hi,

RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.5 64-bit

We have a gfs2 filesystem, and when files are deleted in it, the space used by
the file isn't freed, so the filesystem just gets fuller and fuller as time
goes on. Kindly advised how can I recover the free space.

Regards
