i have a virtualized truenas setup with a tiny pool meant for testing various thing and against the rules someone may have put files on it instead of the main server and i need help getting those files back however truenas reports that there is space used but no files seem to exist

How did you determine that no files exist?

Pool w seems to be completely empty, apart from the system dataset. It's not impossible that someone threw some files in there, but those are pretty normal sizes...
