Re: ReadyNAS 102 free diskspace.

Are you using snapshots?

If the file was added to the share prior to the last snapshot being taken before you deleted the file, then it would still be in a snapshot. If you go to Shares in the web admin interface and go to the Timeline, you can destroy the snapshots that you no longer want.

The oldest automatic snapshots are automatically pruned when the volume is 95% full until the volume usage falls back below 95%.

@Titus3012:

Same concern on this forum post: viewtopic.php?f=156&t=81442

As per suggestion of mdgm, check this link as your reference guide in deleting snapshots: http://kb.netgear.com/app/answers/detai ... -system%3F
