Disk space issue on Local Disk Storage in Backup Exec 2012

If you are using Disk Storage, it is managed by DLM.  When you delete a backup set and there are unexpired dependent backup sets, then it would not be physically deleted.  For example, you delete a full backup and there are still unexpired incremental backups based on this full backup, then the full backup would not be deleted.

Kindly provide the following information to help us understand the problem .

Just want to know ,

1. You are deleting backup set from storage tab of Backup exec 2012 ?
2. If yes was it successful ?

If would be great if you could upload a snapshot where you see space was not reclaimed .

I deleted some backup set from storage tab of Backup Exec 2012 and some from Backup/Restore tab.

All deletion can be done successfully.

What is the snapshot?

I deleted all backup set for full backup and incremental backup. No backup set exists. But I cannot free up all disk space.

This is a step by step guide on this topic.

Hope this solves the problem .
