  • What does balance do in that context? As I understand unless the volume spans multiple drives or the files were so numerous and small that metadata was a significant portion of their disk usage, rebalancing will only unallocate data chunks just for them to be allocated again when that space gets used.

    Unless the program you’re using is wrongly checking unallocated space instead of free space, it shouldn’t really affect disk usage

    Edit: It might help with trim and make the drive faster though. But you’re also putting a bunch of unnecessary wear on it so it might not be worth it
