I suspect it was retaining all the stuff that the help mentions in allocated size of the object.

Big difference between virtual tape and a virtual tape library is that the full 500GB space is not tied up in a virtual tape library for a 500GB tape. Dedup and allocation is more dynamic and way smaller.

But thanks. I did clear up some space for some virtual tape stuff used for installing some vendor stuff.
