If the volume move (cutover-action) was successful check if you have aggr snapshots.

It does not show immediately. Background processes may take up to an hour to show all the space freed up. If not, Check the aggregate snapshots like @Mjizzini posted.

Make sure you check your volume recovery queue too.

Hello @Mohisina01

Were you able to see the space recovered on that aggregate?

Thanks
