Is there a disk cleanup tool like Windows has? How do I free space? Maybe the disk is fragmented. You would think that deleting a 12GB volume would free 12GB of space. But it doesn't?

No, you wouldn't think that if you did a small amount of research.
Until you stop whatever process is keeping that file open, the space won't reflect a change. Common in every operating system. Your disk is not fragmented, and never needs a 'cleanup' like Windows.
