If the Windows Data Deduplication service found identical chunks fragments in files on a volume, it replaces them with a link to the unique chunk, which is saved to the System Volume Information directory.
If you move or delete optimized files from a deduplicated volume, old chunks are not deleted immediately. These blocks are removed by a special GarbageCollection job that runs once a week.
This is why space on a deduplication-enabled volume is not immediately reclaimed. After the completion of the tasks, unused chunks in the System Volume Information directory will be deleted, and additional disk space will be freed.
Thanks, this is brilliant. I found a VSS for one disk on another this way. Cleaned it up and voila: space back! This was it. Approx gb. Cleaned it with these litle tricks!!! Now i know where space were wasted due to misconfiguration of the limits of the disk space used by VSS.
