Hey
Funny story, I made my nas around 6 months ago, 25tb, 18tb usable. Everything is amazing so far but I got down to 500gb free and I was trying to get some space back... funny enough took me a while and then a hdd folder scan to see where my space went and to my surprise... boom .recycle bin is at 7.9tb :- )))
So what I would like to find out is, if I am to clean up my .recycle folder, will my shadowCopies still work? Do they relay in any way on .recycle content? I use photoshop/other programs. From what I can say they save to .tmp file and then delete old one/replace with .tmp file and rename it. Can that system somehow need the .recycle for shadow copies to work? I love shadow copies but I don't want to lose them :- )
TIA!
Regards
Dariusz
