Grep through the ls output for ‘rados bench’ leftovers, it’s easy to leave them behind.

You might want to try "rados ls" command to get the list of all the objects in the cephfs data pool. And then  learn how that mapping is performed and parse your listing.

So if we're certain that the leak really occurred (and option 1. above isn't the case) it makes sense to run more experiments with writing/removing a bunch of huge files to the volume to confirm space leakage.
