I'm suspecting that the current redo log was open and active until the shutdown 
took place.  The rm command simply "flagged" it for removal to the OS.
It might be interesting to try your scenario again, but add in steps to check 
the volume of space available / used on that file system before the rm, after 
the rm and then again after the shutdown.  If this theory holds you won't see 
the space available from the removed redo log until after the shutdown.
