After emptying the drives, you will have to New Config without them and rebuild parity.

 

I don't recommend using older and/or smaller disks in the array just because you happen to have them. Each additional disk is an additional point of failure, requires more ports, more power, and at some point, more Unraid license. All bits of all disks must be reliably read to reliably rebuild a missing disk. Older and/or smaller disks don't perform as well as larger newer disks. Add drives when you need additional capacity, not just because you have some disks laying around.
