No Free Space After Deleting Folder

[redfiveuk]

Hi All,
running freenas box 8.3 with 8TB raidz, I recently got bored of all my films and deleted the Freenas Film folder from a windows PC, the folder no longer exists on the NAS box and is not in the .recycle folder. The problem is I did not gain any disc space what so ever when there was at least 1TB or more in the folder, can any one shed any light on this and tell me how to reclaim the disc space.

Regards
Kingsley

Did you maybe take a snapshot? Is anything possibly holding the files open?

Many thanks for the response, no snapshots taken, its turning into a real mystery........ Is there a way I can tell is anything is still pointing to the files ?

From the command prompt:

csh# du -k /mnt/poolname

substituting the appropriate pool name. See if the space is being reported as used... and if so, track it down using du

Hi thx for the reply, I have looked the the pool name but when I enter this it tells me


du: No such file or directory.

this is my pool status output
