I am running DrivePool V2.1.1.561 on WS 2012 R2 with an admittedly very large pool of 246 TB that is almost completely full (2.91 TB of Free Space). I use the pool as a long-term online archive of producton work and for syncback se as storage to keep temporary current backups of production servers.
I'm experiencing an issue where deleting files from the pool results in no returned space. I've manually deleted several terabytes of folders, but the free space in the pool remains at 2.91 TB. Windows recycle bin reports no files to recycle, but recycle bins in the PoolPart folder on the individual pool member drives appear to contain a lot of files. Is it safe to manually delete these bins?
Any ideas on next steps to try to recover free space?
