Seafile not releasing space

Hi all,

I’ve Seafile 8.0.7 on a Raspberry Pi 4 working fine. I’m using a library that appears to have 2TB in the web interface, but it is 1.7TB in the local disk (the data disk is an USB drive). I’ve done a massive deletion of files, but the space in the Seafile web interface and the space in the disk are not released.

I’ve run the Garbage Collector (seaf-gc.sh) with no errors and I got around 20GB free (I was expecting more than 200GB).

Is there something I am not doing?

Thanks

You probably have set the keep history to forever or an arbitrary amount of days .

[history]
keep_days = days of history to keep

The keep days for the trash are 60 by default as well. It takes that amount of time until the GC actuals deletes the files.

[library_trash]
expire_days = 60

Config description here: seafile.conf - Seafile Admin Manual

I’ve tested it but the result is the same, Seems nothing changed.

Thanks
