If you're using the FS as an archive, then you're likely not
overwriting or deleting data, so the cleaner will simply be shuffling
live data about and not actually freeing any space. The 4TB you
removed may well a long way from where the cleaner is currently
cleaning.

If you're archiving data, then I'd suggest NIFLS is not in fact the 
best option to use.

Given the size of your archive, are you using this in production? Or
just testing?
