Difference in available storage space between WebGUI and Finder(AFP)
Running 6.5 A couple of weeks ago I removed a "private time machine" allocating roughly 500Gb. The avaialabe storage in the WebGUI differs about 500Gb compared to what I can see in Finder, mounting ...
The NAS uses base 2 (like most PCs) whereas the Mac uses base 10. So you will get a larger number on your Mac but the amount of free storage is the same.
Also the Time Machine tab won't let you set a quota that is as large as all of the remaining space (it's not advisable to completely fill a volume).
What numbers do each report? And how much space is on the volume?
A balance did not fix it...
I´m doing a huge sorting of my data, all across my computers, external drives and the NAS.
This problem came when i removed a private time machine and I´ll soon be doing it again.
Can I fix this some way and how do I remove private time machine the right way so this does not happen again?

You may wish to update to 6.5.2.
Can you also send in your logs (see the Sending Logs link in my sig)?
Upgraded to 6.5.1, which is the latest available update for me.
I have found differences also within webgui.
Se attached files.
Sending you logs soon.
