Help! Cannot recover space from deleted files

Help! Cannot recover space from deleted files

Greetings!  ReadyNAS 424, software 6.10.2.  4x4TB in RAID5.

 

My volume is getting full, and I cannot seem to reclaim space from deleted files.  I have disabled all snapshots and deleted the individual snapshots.  I deleted more than 1TB of data, but still no change in available space.

 

What am I missing?  I do not have any Recycle Bin functionality, so no way to "Empty".  Is there some sort of cleanup I can run via SSH?

 

TIA!

Found the solution in this post:

Basically, my ReadyNAS had snapshots that did not appear in the GUI, so I could not delete them.

 

I used:

 

btrfs subvolume list -s /data

 

to find the snapshots, and then:

 

btrfs subvolume delete <full path to volume>

 

to delete them, recovering almost 2TB of space!

Also, the Shares page on the admin panel shows zero snapshots, but on the Volume page it shows over a TB used for snapshots.  Screenshots attached.
