The parcel tracking server is full… even though 27 GB were just deleted

Sahara Logistique (a fictional company) delivers parcels all over Morocco. The tracking service
(Java application, systemd unit tracking) receives the couriers' scans and writes them to /data.
On Sunday at 22:10, monitoring reported /data at 98 %. Reda, on call, found a 27 GB file
/data/logs/tracking/tracking-debug.log and deleted it with rm. He closed the alert… which
reopened at 06:30: /data is at 100 %, and the couriers' scans have been failing since this morning.
Your mission: understand why the space did not come back, free it without losing any parcel data, and keep it from happening again.
