Hello all.

First of all I am new to freenas, and there might be former threads that solved this, but I have not been able to find it then.

The problem is that my jails keep taking up space in my pool after I deleted them. I thought a snapshot might have reserved the space, but no. I deleted the snapshots and the jails pool is still at 9gb. I then added a jail and deleted it. Now it is 11gb.

It might be a very noob question but I would appreciate an explanation and how to fix it.

If you have any snapshots at the root that are recursive, they would still contain the jail data.

Thanks for the answer.

Where do I find those? There are no snapshots under storage --> snapshots (I deleted them).
The only snapshots I can find are the ones related to emby and plex plugin, which are fine.

All the snapshots are in the same place.
