volume usage and free space do not match

Hello 

I've been using rn102 as backup device , doing "robocopy" every day from win2k12r2 server.  In the recent past too many "access denied" errors showed up and I decided to make new share and malke full backup again. 

But it seems that there is no  free space as one would expect (!?)   This report says that cca 770G are used , but usage bar on the left describes way different situation. At the begininng no snapshot usage was shown, but when I deleted some snapshots this little yellow part showed up (little  strange).   Is there any way to clean up "garbage" and get the right picture ?    

If I do not solve this soon I was thinking about to make factory restore and I'm not happy with that at all 

 

Thank you very much in advance for your help

Best regards

Tonci

    That is strange, but still I think the way to begin is to delete the snapshots.  If you aren't deleting them all, delete the oldest ones first.

     

    After that run a balance from the volume settings wheel.
