How to recover space in deduplication pool

Hello I am facing space issue in one of my life disk pool. So thought to expire some images after duplication. But still space was not recovered. Though ran the manual clean up. Could anyone please...

    MSDP cleanup process is faily efficient. Also, individual increments don't add much to the size, hence you have a couple of options:

    1. Use OpsCenter's deduplication reports to identify clients with poor dedupe rate. (anything less than 80-90% is poor dedupe rate). If you have any other storage unit, such as tape, direct those clients there. Or reduce retention.

    2. Buy another shelf if there is a business case to store that much data for that long on disk.
