Ok so im not sure where to start with this, I have a Media dataset that contains a movies folder and in the gui it is showing that i have used 1.03 TiB of space (which sounds about right)but when i browse to the share the folder is empty, even with showing hidden files in windows i cannot see anything.

Back story:

I was messing around with rancher trying to get plex up and running and the way it had me mount my media appeared to have copied my Movies folder to / so i cd'd into it and ls'd and sure enough all my movies were listed. I then went to where my Movies should be cd /mnt/Tank/Media/Movies and yes sure enough they were there also so i went back to / and did a rm -R movies..... i then cd'd back into my proper Movies folder to find it empty...... Have i lost all my movies for good or can i get them back?
6x1tb wd black raidz2.

Do you have a periodic snapshot job set up? (you could just roll back the snapshot)

I don't think I ever set one up.

It might explain why you still see free space indicating the files are still there... have a look under storage/snapshots.

Check by filtering on your pool/dataset and look for the most recent snapshot date.

Also have a look at the reporting for the partitions and see if you see a drop in the used space after the delete.

No dates visable. Can't see anything for the size i need.
Oh well, that will teach me for not having backups and or snapshots.
Snapshots are setup now but that doesn't save the hours ripping blurays lol.

There was an internet browser related issue recently... Does changing internet browser help?
