Hi, We have deleted at least 500-600 Gig of files of the NetGear but it does not seems to reflect the change when I check out the status of how much we have deleted. Is there something other pro...
Do you have snapshots enabled?
Yes its enabled but as we are running into diskspace issue so that is why we are limiting Snapshot to just two capture entries (only when changes made) until we can have some control of the diskspace. So we have made some major clean up so why does not the ReadyNAS recognize/reflect that?

I am thinking that you still have old snapshots for the shares where you did the deletions. If there are any snapshots for those shares, then deletions only free up space if the original files didn't exist when the snapshot was taken.
Clones act similarly - you need to delete files in both the original and the clone before the space is regained.
Also, sometimes you need to run a balance to get the space back. But that can take quite a while, so take a look at the snapshots first.
I see, that make sense. I plan on a doing a balance close to when office close for a long weekend. I want to run a defrag as well but the last time I did that I did not see any confirmation in the long at all so I am nervous because I don't want it "still" be running while I am doing a Balance job. Why does "defrag" does not show up in the log. Is that by design?
I am still at a lost here. So I have finally ran a complete Balance operation successfully but I don't not see the space we have try to recover (by deletion/clean of the server). We are talking about 1.5 Terabyte of space I should see back but Engyte Storage Sync still indicate our server is out of diskspace. It could be their software that is not sync/recognizing it. But do you have any other suggestions?

I definitely would contact egynte. If you purchased between 1 June 2014 and 31 May 2016 you have lifetime chat support, so you could also use that.
