I would have just deleted and recreated from the getgo. Why mess around with clear etc.?

We have a virtual tape that we don't use anymore, so I want to clear it to
free the disk space. Before I started, /ImageCatalog/tape/backup/GEN001
was showing a size of 576560259233. I did an INZTAP command, and GEN001 is
now showing 12289. The ironic part is that my disk usage percent didn't
change at all.

Any ideas? Think it would help to delete that GEN001 and recreate?

TIA
