Hello Rahim,

Here is the link to the EMC forums where I found the following:

In order to return space to a pool on the VNXe3200, follow any of the following methods:

Using UFS64 NFS thin File Systems and deleting data within this storage will return unused space to the storage pool. For details see (page 12): https://support.emc.com/docu57995_VNXe3200-UFS64-File-System--A-Detailed-Review.pdf?language=en_US

Here is the link to the article. https://community.emc.com/docs/DOC-58982

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
