hi Dav1234
Containers from 2020 can easily contain data block present in 2020 that is still present in 2023. Let's imagine you did a backup of a host in 2020 and still backup that host today, then data block from that time is still required to perform a restore today. Dedupe is basically a compare of unique fingerprint, do I have it, reference it, if not put it in a container file. First when the reference count to a data block is 0, is the data block removed from the container files.
Never ever delete files manual from MSDP. Bad things will happen ;)

Correct, the files will not be deleted before all the unique data block (Image data) contained in the files are deleted.
