why do files still take space on my sd-card, after I deleted them?

After I move files from SD-card to Trash-bin they no longer show. But they still take up the space!! Please help.

You have to empty the Trash (with the card mounted, of course). The card has an invisible Trash folder, just like your Mac, and that's where your deleted files are. So you have to empty it: you can only do that by emptying the HD's Trash as well.
