Readynas 2304 recycle bin?
Deleted a couple 200GB shares off our readynas 2304 but the free space utilization didnt move. We do have some snapshots and other files in use, but the deleted shares should have affected the free space utilization. Is there a recycle bin or something that needs to be cleared before this storage space is freed up?

It can take a while to free up the space. You can run a balance from the volume settings wheel - that should do the trick. If you aren't running the various maintenance tasks regularly, you might consider doing that. Personally I run each every three months.
