Hi - I have an SSD which is mounted within Proxmox. It contains movie files we use for plex.

I logged in via SFTP and cleared out a load of old files. Yet, the hard drive has not reflected that free space. Is there a command I need to run to "free up" the space? Or should I unmount/remount the drive?

I can't remember if I created that space for one of the containers to use :-/

Thanks for any help!
 
The only way to not automatically reclaim the space would be a snapshot still referencing the files. What is your current storage setup?
