delete snapshots when they don't exist ReadyNAS 102
My HD is full. I delete files and nothing frees up. Other posts say to delete snapshots but my NAS shows there are "0" of them. Yet, there definitely are such files. Can I just delete...
The other day I deleted over 3GB data from the NAS and ran the Balance script. My free space went from 72 KB to only 128 KB.

Do you have snapshots enabled in your share settings?
Did you mean to type 72 KB?
Snapshots is set to Smart, Hourly.
When I attempt to change to Never i get an error:
Yes, 72 KB
It's really hard to do much once you completely run out of free space. With BTRFS you really want at least 15% of free space.
I think the best next step is to back up all the files to other storage (PC internal drive or a USB drive).
