You delete 1 TB of files from drive D.
You need to ensure that you can use all the disk space that was used by the deleted files as soon as possible.
What should you run?

Answer options

• A. the Update-DedupStatus cmdlet
• B. the ThroughputOptimization task from the Task Scheduler
• C. the WeeklyGarbageCollection task from the Task Scheduler
• D. the Set-DedupVolume cmdlet

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as the WeeklyGarbageCollection task is specifically designed to reclaim space from deleted files in a drive with Data Deduplication enabled. Options A and D do not focus on reclaiming space from deleted data, while option B is related to optimizing throughput rather than garbage collection.
