VirtualBox: How to recover HDD space?

$

My VM's are saved in /home and take up several GB's per VM from about 1Gb to 4Gb on avg. My /home partition is a minimal fixed size so available space is scarce. I've deleted some extraneous VM's (Move to Trash) and the space in /home is not freed up as if the file still exists and is taking up space. I figure the 4Gb VM went into the trash but the trash can is empty (?)

I check my available disc space using df -h in terminal and can see that the expected available HDD space % of /home is still the same as if (again) the file has not been properly deleted.

Question: How do I recover the available space when deleted large files like a 4Gb VM?
