I had a large (3TB) iSCSI LUN on one of my RN314s (equipped with 4 2 TB drives) that I deleted, and ReadyNAS is not showing the space as available. I have scrubbed and defragged. The iSCSI lun was called Javelin_Migration. I noticed the following while searching the filesystem (note the bold, underlined text):

Why is this data lingering, and can I just delete it? I'd rather not format the drives if I can avoid it. I absolutely intend for this LUN and all backups, data, etc to be deleted.
Thanks for your help!
