It's not. Normally mount is an empty folder in root.
No idea why the command did something to the data volume on Sandshark's system back in 2016.

Obviously it would be prudent to have an up-to-date back up of the data.
You should be using btrfs commands for your troubleshooting - the usual linux commands do not give the right answers for btrfs.
btrfs fi show /data btrfs fi df /dataYou can check if you deleted all the snapshots using this:
btrfs subvolume list -s /dataThis will also give more details
btrfs fi du -s /data/sharenameThis last command can take a long time to complete. You can leave off the -s, but you will get a lot of output.
Note also you can use it (with or without the -s) on subfolders of the share, or even individual files.
