Deleting Files doesn'f Free Disk Space

[wolffboy]

Newbie Question:
I have 4x1.5tb disks on RAID5, and have been deleting folders through Windows Explorer to free up space.
I started with about 1.3tg free, deleted many old folders, and watched as the free space actually decreased.
I ran the file system check utility, rebooted, etc.

What am I missing?

TIA

Have You enabled recycle bin in the samba/cifs configuration ?

If you want to see the recycle folder in Windows Explorer,

Tools->Folder Options->View->Show hidden files and folders

As Peter mentioned, samba recycle bin is probably enabled in Storage->Advanced Option of the NAS.

Could not find recycle bin option on NAS interface.
