Deleting SynqIQ data

Question

We have recently changed a policy and a folder that was protected by SynqIQ is now no longer required to be HA.  The folder was 220TB so we can now reclaim space on Isilon Cluster 2 On EyeGlass  disabled the Job for this SynqIQ policy On Isilon CLuster 1 ( Live ) Deleted SynqIQ policy On Isilon Cluster 2 ( failover ) Deleted Snapshot policy From Putty session removed the replicated folder rm -rf foldername Now the folder was 220TB, the rm command finished but as of yet I haven't seen any reduction in the space used on Cluster 2   Have I missed something? or do I need to leave overnight?   any help would be appreciated

@NotStopIsilonProblems , rm -rf is single threaded? try treedelete job also.

You may need to break the target read only flag set against the target DIR on cluster 2 (previously controlled by the SyncIQ policy from Cluster1) review Cluster2 Synciq Targets to see if any local clusters on cluster2 still think they are part of a synciq policy from cluster1
