Same Space after deleting files

[Joseb]

I deleted 1.5TB from my DS920+ an hour ago. I emptied the recycle bin for the folder in question. No space was reclaimed. I also went to Shared Folders and used the ""Empty All Recycle Bins" and I still have the same amount of space on my NAS as before deleting 1.5TB of photos. Am I missing something?

Snapshots/Drive versions?

Your NAS Storage is almost FULL

Hi guys, I have a Synology DS218+ with 3 TB x 2 (SHR-1), and till yesterday I had 80% free space. Today, I tried to start to try a plex solution on it, and I copied a large folder of 1080p movies on it. When I get the message "Your storage is almost full" (91% of space is full!), I deleted...

Also, you could use Storage Manager to scrub the data. It should recalc your space and show the actual state.

Thanks Rusty. If you mean Data Scrubbing, I am doing that now and it has 12 hours left to go. Thank you for responding.

Recommend you set a regular schedule for data scrubbing. FWIW, I run mine monthly.

Be sure your shared folders holding “critical” files support it.

I did the Data Scrubbing and the only thing that happened was that I found out that the Drives are ok. Data scrubbing did not reclaim space. I was able to go into the Snapshot app and remove snapshots and that was the answer and the cause of space loss. Thank you all for your help.
