RN102 snapshots taking up space, not showing up in GUI

Hi, My NAS (RN102 with two 3TB disks in RAID 1) is showing about one TB in snapshots against 1.36TB in data. However, deleting all snapshots from each share does not free up any space. Instead...

Any ideas on how to free up the remaining space?

It should free up as a background process.

You can try running another balance, perhaps followed by a scrub.

  ID 7810 gen 2484104 top level 5 path .purge
  
  could this be the culprit?
  
  Is it wise to delete this path?

    Don't delete this. It exists on all OS-6 NAS.
    
    I'd backup the NAS (if you haven't done that already).
    
    The scrub will take about the same amount of time as the RAID sync that was done on initial install (or the last disk replacement). I'd to that next. If that fails, then perhaps do a factory reset, reconfigure the NAS, and restore the data from the backup.
