That is how unixes work. See "man unlink" e.g. here [1] or the POSIX
spec.  The actual deletion happens only when all applications that are
reading or writing the file have closed it.

[1] http://linux.die.net/man/2/unlink

You can truncate the file though, without deleting it.

I think the following will work:
cat /dev/null > yourfile
