Deleting Snapshots
Hi all,
I'm cleaning up a RN2120 and have deleted all shares however there is approx 1.6Tb in use for Snapshots for those folders I just deleted.
How do I clear this off?
Will a SCRUB remove them?
Cheers, Chris.
From your problem description it sounds like most likely you created your volume on very old firmware, which is why I liked the idea of destroying the volume and creating a new one (or even doing a factory reset - wipes all data, settings, everything).

If you've deleted all the shares you may as well delete the volume (destroying any remaining data on that) as well and create a new volume.
I did consider doing that however there is a couple of very larger (5Tb+) folders with backup data in them which means I can't destroy the volume and start again.
Any other suggestions on how I can get this space back?
So you didn't delete all the folders/shares on the volume then.
Perhaps send me your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig).
I did delete all folders however my offsider was a bit quick and started a data sync from one RN2120 to this one.
Not to worry we have now decided to just blow away the Volume and start again.
