February 23Feb 23 I'm trying to delete some datasets that are no longer needed. I'm very short on space and I can't delete them. I have no idea what is using them still because the VM's aren't on anymore. I've tried renaming to delete them but that didn't work.

February 23Feb 23 Author 3 minutes ago, JorgeB said:There's a typo, it's destroyPretend you didn't see that. It says the dataset doesn't exist but I see it in ZFS Master. I double checked the spelling! When I go to the folder though it's empty. I then tried to delete the folder and nothing happened.5 minutes ago, JorgeB said:There's a typo, it's destroy
