For purged volumes it shows the full size of the volume.
Will those files get shrinked when they get recycled and start from 0?

Is there a way to tell how much space was used in a file volume?
Didn't see anything in the archives for this.
This would allow to compute space used in HD for a pool vs
how much of that space is unused.
