Hi all,
I'm facing an issue with HDFS 3.3.5 cluster.I have created a total of 650 files with replication set to 1 and block size set to 4MB and each file size is 4MB which should result in a subtotal of 2.5GB, but the storage utilisation is marked closer to 100% due to this.

Hello

I had a similar problem in the past:  i had snapshots policies that did hourly snapshots and retain the last hours + 3 days + 4 weeks . the disk space was released after i deleted snapshots as the deletion of files doesn't delete the snapshoted hdfs data's blocs

i also emptied my HDFS Trash and checked that all users HDFS Trash DIRs where empty or small.

maybe tha could help 

Regards
