How to freeing space from datastore?

if you deleted some backups, the garbage collection only deletes the relevant unused chunks after an additional day. (so maybe run the garbage collection again after a day or two)
note that deleting a backup does not necessarily frees chunks, since they are deduplicated and maybe used in some other backups
