RN102 deleting share does not free up space
Hi, I just deleted a share of around 500 GB but I don't see any extra space freed up. I rebooted twice and ran a balance but the extra space still isn't available. As you can see from the ...

Thanks for your reply.
Also, you might try disabling Quota on the volume settings wheel. Then reboot the NAS, and enable it again.
I've done that, but no effect, unfortunately
Consider deleting the snapshot for Videos next (though it doesn't appear to be taking much space).
I deleted the whole "Videos" share (I was going to anyway) but this time I did it slightly differently: I first deleted the folders inside and then deleted the share itself. When I first deleted the folders inside, the amount of deleted data first showed up as space taken up by snapshots and when I then deleted the share itself, it was displayed as regular data again. Then I ran a balance and it was finally displayed as free disk space again.
So I'm still missing roughly 500 GB from when I deleted the "Music" folder, so my guess is that the system now sees that deleted data as snapshots, but then it sees those snapshots as data. (I know, confusing, right?)
Last time I ran a balance it showed to be 182% complete. this doesn't seem correct.
If you download your logs, what does your btrfs.log look like?
