Can't empty free space

[menelaostrik]

Hi,
I have pruned most of the backups (out of 100 i kept 10) but i can't free up empty space on the storage.
pruning have ran without errors.
any clues?
thank you in advance,
Menelos

Did you run a Garbage collection as well? As the pruning will remove the backups (which hold the index of used chunks) and the garbage collection checks for chunks that are not used by any backup anymore and will remove those. Be aware though, that it can take up to 24h before that happens. The PBS documentation has more details: https://pbs.proxmox.com/docs/backup-client.html?highlight=pruning#garbage-collection
