Where's my space that I free'd upward?

We Vsphere 4.0 Update 2. We have a San with a couple of volumes via NFS configuration to store VMDK files and such and also a volume of config to store the appropriate files. I'm looking through these data storages and try to clean them. That is the problem. On my 1st volume, I had originally 104,13 GB of free space. I have advanced and deleted a folder on this volume however is the total space was 19 GB. After he deleted off this volume I then looked at the free space again and it really happened to 103,85 GB of free space. Where that storage is? Why at - it go down? I have to do something else to actually get this empty storage? Thanks for the help.

Depends on the SAN.  Some remove a background, so when you delete the files, the files are NOT actually removed, the space is marked for REUSE.  Same thing with your player to Windows, but Windows is smart enough to know that the files marked as reuse are too complicated for an end user, so it must claim it as free.

Nothing is actually deleted, this has been a scourge for many years.  He gets just reused or marked for reused.  This is how it works in general.

Worldwide VMFS and SAN you don't want what high IO associated with files being removed from the volume, or NFS, as well, so he gets slowly recovered over time.  If you check in a few hours, it should go more... If not maybe what SAN is just mark the files as missing, and he'll use them again.
