BW hdd free space not updating
BW hdd free space not updating
Hi there I have a BW U4 with a 4tb hdd. A few days ago I moved almost 1tb of content from the BW to my NAS via ftp in order to free up space on the BW. I notice that when I show a content directory listing of recordings on the BW that the % of free disk space has not changed. I rebooted the device hoping that might force a ´re–read´ of the hdd but it has remained unchanged. Just wondering what might be happening and what to do in order to correctly show the % change. Cheers
Re: BW hdd free space not updating
If you deleted the recordings using the Beyonwiz GUI, then they have probably all been moved to the Trash directory rather than being deleted outright. You can either manually empty the trash, or wait until the trash is emptied automtatically.CJSStK wrote: ↑Mon May 30, 2022 10:31Hi there I have a BW U4 with a 4tb hdd.

If you deleted the recordings some other way, then I don't know what might have happened.

Re: BW hdd free space not updating
Thank you for that. I did not know about the Trash folder so I have learned something new today. All fixed. Cheers
Re: BW hdd free space not updating
Hi there again. Reading back through various forum posts it appears that there is a BW space manager setting that enables one to configure the frequency of Trash removal ie permanent deletion. I cannot seem to find this function in my U4 settings. Is it still an available option? Cheers

Auto-delete from Trash is based on settings "Remove items from trash after (days)" and also "Disk space to reserve for recordings (in GB)" available in MEDIA, MENU>>Settings...
Re: BW hdd free space not updating
Thanks for the response. Under my setup/media option I only have configuration options for Picture player and Media player and these do not present a means to configure Auto delete from Trash. Cheers
