hi,
ive noticed on win2k16 that optimize on a schedule or initiated sometimes doesnt enforce "retrim" have you tried?
Optimize-Volume -DriveLetter X -ReTrim –Verbose
and see the output?
also is disable delete notification enabled?
should be 0
Get-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem" -Name DisableDeleteNotification
DisableDeleteNotification : 0
if your retrim output shows a reclaimed value, it should reflect on your TPVV disk you have presented. it is not instant, but it is also not a month...all else being equal the optimize command with the retrim switch may help.
That is the command I was running. It seemingly does the same thing as the gui, but I ran both the command line and gui to make sure it ran. You can also run degrag /L, which also does the same thing.
None of those processes made any difference on the compact-able space, even after waiting more than a week since running it. I just ran an sdelete one a test volume and it seemed to make a difference on the user space when running the showvv -s command.
I think I will try running sdelete on the larger volumes once we get our extra hdd/ssd installed in a few days. Although on a 10TB volume sdelete will likely take over 48 hours to complete....uggg...vmware/linux works so much better.
