Hi All
I remove a old VM that i not use it anymore, and now i want to remove the backup on nfs destination to free up space, i select the backup and click on "prune group" and keep only 1 backup as you can see:

But i see that the space on datastore "NFS01" it still the same occupied space.
 
You have pruned a relatively small VM (2.2 GB).

Deleting some backups of VM 101 would probably bring a visible result on the NFS share ...
 
So the procedure was correct prune also delete the backup and not only remove it from the list?
