[SOLVED] Deleted files keep taking up storage space
Hi I am a new member who recently joined the NETGEAR ReadyNAS Family. I apologize for my somewhat bad English and for not finding a more proper sub-forum for this question. A week ago I bought ...
my readynas reach 78% used space so I erased 400GB of data that doesn't really need to be on my NAS. So I found the same problem as decribed here and I erased the old snapshot of the folder I deleted. But the free space didn't increased at all. I wondered how I could tell the NAS to use this space to avoid receiving the email to warn me about the 70% reached.
I just tried a cleaning of the volume (path is System > Volume then a clic no the volume and on the drop down menu "clean").
But I looks like this cleaning will be very very slow... :(( (0.02% in 2 minutes...so more than 100hours :/ )
EDIT : I continued to play around in the GUI and after many clic on "actualise" the freespace was updated after a while. Maybe there is a delay to wait for.
