oops, should have had a look :P

this pointed me to :

server:~# lsof | grep "/var" | grep "deleted"
smbd       2926       root    2w      REG      254,1       2665

Yes ! Looks like they just need to restart the ProFTPD and Samba 
services to free up around 2.7G !

Thanks all, this was very helpful !
