How to reclaim repository space from a deleted base image?

I know this is probably a simple question and answer, but I've been unable to find out how to reclaim space in my repository after deleting a base image.  I ran a check of the repository.  I did not run an optimization because that would take too long.  I was hoping there is a quick way to force the repository to get rid of the deleted base image.  Because the repository size has not changed since I deleted it. 

Thanks

    Oh that first link is helpful.  It pointed me to look at the tasks and click the settings wheel which brought up some hidden tasks that were running which I never new about.  The "Deleting Index RPFS file"  has been running since I performed the deletion and it is almost complete.  So apparently this is going on in the background and I didn't realize it because this event is hidden.  i will wait for this to complete and see if my repository clears the space after.  Will let you know within the next 30 mins.

    That worked.  I just had to click the services wheel in the event viewer to show those events.  Then I was able to see the deleting index RPFS running.  Now it took much longer to complete.  It seemed to be at 95% when I first responded and then it reset itself down to 50% and took another 2 hours.  But it did reclaim the unused space.  So thanks for the help!
