'Colab disk space dosen't increase when the dataset has been deleted

I downloaded a dataset whose size is about 25GB in the Colab disk, but after I terminated the colab session and restart it, I couldn't find the dataset. Later I discovered that colab could not storage data permanently but why the disk space is still the same as I downloaded the dataset and it seems not free the space ?
