Hello!

We're using a 5 TB .ibv device on Starwind SAN v6 (phys. disk has 5,45 TB). After some snapshots (and deleting them!) there are a lot of huge files and folders (.ibvd, .ibvm) eating up the disk space.

1. question: How can we delete this files/folders??
2. question: How much free space should we calculate on the disk for these snapshot files?

regards,
Lukas
