reclaim disk space from datastore

Hi all, I have a VMFS6 datastore. I Deleted orphaned files from it, but the free space does not get reclaimed.


esxcli storage core device vaai status get -d naa.600062b204b1ce4026b157b4b4e1c955naa.600062b204b1ce4026b157b4b4e1c955
VAAI Plugin Name:
ATS Status: unsupported
Clone Status: unsupported
Zero Status: unsupported
Delete Status: unsupported
[root@esxigene:~] Delete Status: unsupported

 

How do I overcome this problem?

Hello, it seems you are using a local disk as storage.
This is not ideal.

Can you share a screenshot indicating the actual usage and the free space?
