vSAN 3node lab not reclaiming space

Got a alert today that my vsan was out of space

*I setup vsan on a whim with 3 nodes. On SSD 1 m.2 and 1 500GB with dedup on 3 nodes.

Long story short, I have deleted 80% of my environment and the space 'reclaimed'

Total Capacity 1.4 TB

Provisioned Space 1.71 TB

Free Space 244.05 GB

I have 5 VMS and there is no way that free space is 244.05

I edited the default policy and set no redundancy in the hope of reclaiming space

Rebooted everything still the space will not adjust

Running vCenter 6.7.x whatever the last update was

Hello lodoss900​,

Check the capacity usage breakdown for further details of what is consuming space:

Monitor vSAN Capacity

It is possible to have VM data residing on the datastore that is not associated with any VM registered in inventory (e.g. you unregistered the VM but didn't delete it from disk) so validate the identity of any Unassociated Objects:

I have deleted 80% of my environment including all ISOs with the delete button. I have examined the individual SSDs and hardly any  space 'reclaimed'  I go to each SSD on the individual host and do not see it there
