It would be better idea thart you move data on other
volumes in same storage 
pool for the volumes which shows 99% reclaimable
manually to ensure all the 
reclaimable volumes are now empty and get converted
into scracth.

After that redifine the thresholds for the storage
pool. Sometimes in 
specific case manually intervention is required.

Thanks and regards.
