Confused why postgres storage doesn't decrease after volume is wiped

Hi guys - we've had a postgres running for a while - we very regularly wipe the DB volume (its a staging DB). As such we'd expect to see storage fall back to 0. Concerningly, it seems to be monotonic increasing. Any ideas?

The number you’re hovering over in this case is the max size you have set. This number will not change when you wipe a volume

I'm talking about the purple line. I'm surprised to have seen it strictly increase from Apr 13 despite doing near daily wipes

@Adam - I just re-wiped the volume but its still sitting at 7GB or so:

Please deploy this Filebrowser template and attach your volume. There you can see what files are leftover (if any).

I’m not sure why your wipes are failing, but I’ll raise this to the team once we have a bit more info.

I've also been experiencing this with a staging DB that I wipe frequently. No errors when wiping, but I never see the volume usage decrease. Project: `e3c148d7-7807-484c-ae4a-55648a573656` (only contains a DB rn)
