I have seen this many times, over multiple days and many reboots:
- I have 0.5GB free locally
- I move a 2GB folder from local to network share
- It is gone locally
- Local drive still shows 0.5GB free
To see the 2GB as released I have to reboot (which seems and feels wrong and is definitely a PITA).
Notes:
- I am using Windows File Explorer to move files
- I am using a command prompt dir command to see free space
- This problem happens whether I have 0.5GB free or 20GB free
- I don't think it is background writes, because the NAS I am copying to shows "all quiet" shortly after the move operation completes.
Advised approach to resolve?
