I empty trash but not free disk space

I delete som GB and empty trash on OS X Sierra, but it seems it's not freeing space, at least in finder windows it continue with the same about of free space.

Does any one have this problem and could fix it?

MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 10.2.1

Why is every response to this question from morons??? The issue the poster and I are having is after clearing up many gigs of data (100+ gigs in my case); yes we found the folders, deleted them and successfully emptied the trash, our available free space does not change. This is not user error. The only user error is you idiots assuming this poster doesn't know how to permanently delete files. If someone qualified has experienced this issue before and is aware of a solution please respond, otherwise, please keep your moronic replies to yourself!!!
