Have you run out of inodes in that filesystem? It's unlikely that's
the cause but worth checking with
# df -i
Generally though, when df and du are giving you differing results it's
because some process is holding open an inode even though you think
the file's moved.

Try looking for suspect processes with files open in /opt with...
# lsof | grep '/opt'
