Jun 06, 2017Why has space not moved into free space?
No I have not enabled the quotas.
I thought the complete removal of snapshots will free space.

Why would you expect that?
If I understand your post right, you were using 20.31 TB of data after you deleted the snapshots. Then after the defrag you were using 18.62+2.16 (or 20.78 total).
Am I misunderstanding?
Try deleting the snapshots again. Then run a balance.

Data using 18.62 + 2.16 (or 20.78 total) after the ReadyNas create a new snapshot for my 6 volumes (at midnight).
I just tried it again.
Before removing snapshots
data 18.64 TB
Snapshots: 2.16 TB
Free: 8.29 TB
After removing snapshots and balancing without defragmentation
data 20.79 TB
Snapshots: 0 TB
Free: 8.29 TB- StephenBJun 06, 2017Guru - Experienced User
(EDIT) The balance already completed?
What firmware are you running?
- Retired_MemberJun 06, 2017
