Space is not available after deleting files

Hi,
I hope someone can help. I have deleted several gb of data from my harddrive that has been transferred to a NAS drive. howver the space I am expecting is not available.
I have read several posts here and elsewhere advising the use of utilities such as OmniDiskSweeper and Disc Inventory X however they are unable to resolve the issue.
As you can see from the above images there are is 66gb of video files, however I have removed at least 50gb of these from the HD.
The following images are what I see when I run OmniDiskSweeper & DiscInventoryX
DiscInventory X: Shows only 232.6 GB... no sign of the 66gb of video files (although there is 15.6 mpeg video)
OmniDiscSweeper: Shows the HD only having 12.3gb remaining however when it runs it shows the HD to only contain 277.5gb of data
I'm at a total loss as to what is happening and how to actually retrieve the space that I have freed up.
If it helps, I did turn on TimeMachine, but disbaled local backups via the terminal (sudo tmutil disablelocal). I did this however after the initial backup was run.
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Ben

ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders. It may take some minutes for ODS to list all the files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • Percentage of used table space not reduce after deletion

    Hi..
    This is my query to delete data from database:-
    delete from $tb_data where to_char(partition_dt,'MON') = '$mm';
    The $tb_data and $mm is variable and the $tb_data will be read input table name (as example backup_nx160, backup_ngn and etc) and the $mm will be capture the input month.
    My question is why the percentage of used table space is not reduce after delete query was executed. Could somebody help me..
    Please help me..
    Thank you,

    Hi..
    Is it the deleted space will be reused by the system ?Yes.
    .. How could i check the real free tablespace or real usage table space ?If you have gathered statistics on the schema recently, then sum (avg_row_len*num_rows) should give you the exact number of bytes that are being consumed - assuming all tables are in a single tablespace under consideration. You can subtract this value from sum (dba_data_files.bytes) figure for the tablespace, to know exact free space.

  • Exfat drive does not free up space after deleting files

    My external exfat formatted drive does not free up space after deleting files using a mac....however if I delete files using a PC, it will free up space.
    I've even tried the *erase free space* using Disk Utility, but nothing.....
    Thoughts/Suggestions??

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    I ran WhatSize and here is the result. Oddly, it says there is 40.2 GB used (in the top-left) which conflicts with the information directly below it: "Capacity 108 GB, Used 103GB, Available 4.27 GB". Not so helpful.
    Disk Inventory X solved the problem, however. Much thanks! I wasted most of my weekend troubleshooting this sad issue. Anyway, Disk Inventory X revealed a bug where my external hard drive for photos was still appearing as a mounted volume, even though the HD was no longer connected. Freaky.
    After moving it to the trash and deleting it, I've recovered the space.
    Again, thanks! Contact me if you're curious about the details, as this might help you diagnose similar problems in the future.

  • Nas drive does not recalculating space after deleting files on Nas Drive??

    Greetings to Respected expert,
    Actually we have configure Window server 20082 Storage server.We have NAS drive configured which have 300GB quota limit. The actual data in the folder is 185 GB but it shows only 15 GB free and shows a warning .Please assist me why NAS server does not re-calculate
      the space after deleting files or does not leave space. Pardon me if I am not able to clear you my problems.this is very urgent for me.
    Thanks And Regards
    Rajnish Singh

    Hi Rajnish,
    As you mentioned "quota limit", it is set via FSRM or specific function on NAS?
    Meanwhile could you confirm the number 185GB is accurate? Sometimes a part of used space is just not calculated. You can confirm with checking the total space on NAS locally.
    If the number is correct and quota is set via FSRM, check if it is the Disk Quota which not re-calculated the released space. Try to clear the Quota setting and reconfig with 300GB limitation and see if issue still exists.
    If you have any feedback on our support, please send to [email protected]

  • How do I get more space to update my iPhone 4 to iOS7? I am currently on iOS 6.1.3 with 6.3 GB capacity, 1.4 GB available AFTER deleting all apps, photos, music, and videos, and I need 3.8 GB.

    Update using iTunes on your computer. The space requirement does not apply because of how the process works via iTunes as opposed to over the air.

    Then you should check out the documentation some more.
    But even if you shrink the table segement what is that going to do for the data file size?
    I don't undertand you.
    ThanksYour thread is titled "Table space not reduce after delete in oracle 11G" which implies to me that you are interested in reducing the size of a tablespace (which really means reducing the size of the underlying datafile(s)).
    So, if you shrink the size of the sys.aud$ table, will that cause the datafile(s) to become smaller? Will it accomplish your goal? What else, if anything, needs to happen?

  • Table space not reduce after delete in oracle 10g

    Hi..
    Based on my system, i have found that my oracle table space did not reduce after the deletion query. Why ?.. Could somebody help me. As your info, I am using oracle 10g.
    Thank you,
    Baharin

    After Delete the table space will not be set free. high water mark will not be reset. to regain the space you need to recognize the objects from which you deleted the data. This can be done in many ways.
    1) Move the objects.
    Alter table temp move --> optionally tablespace clause can be used. After this you need to rebuild table indexes.
    2) With 10g table can be shrinked or reorganize to free the space.
    alter table mytable enable row movement;
    alter table mytable shrink space;
    3) Export/Import
    export the objects and drop and recreate with import.

    Dear Friends
    We have issue with PO Release strategy. We have created the PO. with release strategy  with multiple approvers.  After approval of first approval manager , one of the PO line item got deleted and Total PO value is reduced .

    release indicators  change it to 4.It may works. Please explore to all 6 indicators..........
    i.e,
    1-cannot be changed
    2-changable,no new determination of strategy
    3-changable,new release in case of strategy
    4-changable,new release in case of strategy or value change

    *GET MAKTX

        MOVE : xkokrs TO itab_covp-kokrs,

        APPEND itab_covp.
        CLEAR itab_covp.

    Do you need to do the inner select for every cost element text?

  • Home view major bug: Home view navigation not available in Common File Dialog Box (i.e. Java, Adobe Photoshop etc)

    Homeview major bug: Homeview navigation not available in Common File Dialog Box (i.e. Java, Adobe Photoshop etc)
    Hi
    All though provisioning somewhat more flexsible and pointing forward ... things are starting to go wrong here ... i.e. pointing to a very potential lack of success introducing users to the new Home namespace/concept ...
    0) Situation if you do not fix 1 + 2:
    You can not release the Homeview feature like this - without fixing 1 + 2.
    If not 1 +2 is fixed you might just as well leave the release of the Homeview feature out of the roadmap for Windows 10. I.e. not ready for use ... or promotion in the UI
    1) How come Homeview has not been included - like other namespaces i.e. Libraries into the Common File Dialog Box?
    How can such a trivial thing to do be missed? I.e. like forgetting to include Homeview into Explorer (would be absurd).
    If not included into the Places Bar of the Common File Dialog Box ... Home View will be unusable - because some very visible applications like Java, Photoshop will not be able to navigate that space easily at all.
    2) Finally, please fix obscure situation in the UI namespace in Explorer
    Please fix obscures like having Home view, Favorites and Libraries (side-by-side complexity and confusion obscuring usability) - all similar concepts but on a different evolutionary step. I.e. have Favorites and Libraries
    hidden - and add i.e. view control like to small buttons whatever to unhide/show the legacy concepts.
    In any case - Home view already seem to migrate/move links from Favorites to the Homeview container.
    Additionally, Home view should migrate links from Libraries to Home view - and provide similar and better functionality.
    Thus going the evolutionary way from Libraries > Favorites > Home - with the later concept of Home providing links to the cloud. Even better, sync relation ships could then later (extended features for Home) be set up among the pins - i.e. concerning
    cloud/network syncing.
    The UI should always reflect the 1 essentional concept - and not under the hood technologies or different evolutionary stages of the same basic/essential concept (technology/implementation free - abstract: "Home with pining of user data space"
    - was previously favorites or libraries (thus obsoleted)). Now the name for that concept is Home. Have it include the technology that replaces Libraries too - i.e. categorization/nesting ... and some whitespace inbetween the nesting (alike some whitespace
    already there inbetween the namespaces in the Explorer UI ... provides easy "modular" reading)

    Hi,
    Please clarify the following:
    * "X: is a network drive, but it's actually a network drive on my machine." - Is "X" a mapped drive to one of your shared folder on network?
    * What is the project directory structure with respect to WEB-INF/web.xml? Are you able to see the three pages (from web & pages folder) in NitroX Editor?
    * Does the modified content appear in "Design view" of index.jsp upon restarting NitroX?
    Ex:
    - modify one of the pages in "web" folder > save the file (alert appears)
    - restart NitroX, does index.jsp display the modified content of included page?
    * If possible please send the test case project which exhibits the behavior to [email protected]
    Thanks,

  • DataSource not available after restart

    Hi,
    I have created a new JDBC driver for MS SQL Server 2005 and a custom data source that is using the JDBC driver and that is connecting to my database. Upon creation of the data source, the data source is shown as available (green) and works fine.
    However, when I restart my system, the data source is still there, but is not available (red). When I delete the data source and create it again, it works fine.
    Does anybody know why the data source might be not available after the restart of the server? Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Best regards
    Holger

    I don't know what I should change in the MS SQL Server. And as the DataSource works correctly once I have deleted and recreated it, I would have thought that the problem is somewhere with the application server.
    A colleague of mine is using the same application and is having the same problem, although he independently created his system.
    Best regards
    Holger

    To clarify, do you have the User Profile Service (including MySite Host) up and running on this environment? That's subtley different to the full MySite experience which is clearly not applicable...
    Interesting question - thanks for that. Until now I didn't realise there was a difference.
    The User Profile Service is up and running, but no MySite Host is set. (I don't believe MySite will be available anywhere here. I guess that means there's no valid MySite Host for me to use.)
