Thanks for you reply .
So if I understand you correctly you want to reduce the space a thin provision disk takes up on the NFS share because you deleted files within the VM?
Yes 

Is there any others way to reclaim disk space , coz i have bulks of vm under thin provision manual process kind of impossible . As i know Vmware have this kind of facility to reclaim from thin provision .

I'm pretty sure that thin provisioned disks can only grow. Once they have been expanded there's no way to reclaim that space on the NFS share. 

The only thing I think you can do is create a new thin provisioned disk and copy the old data over at the file level, not the block level. Afterwards  you could delete the original disk.

From what I understand, ovirt simply reports the available storage that the NFS server says it is free. Ovirt itself doesn't control the storage.

Under the storage tab click on the storage domain you're having issues with and check to see if the images themselves have been deleted or if they are still there. When you delete a virtual machine you have the option to delete the virtual image as well.

If a virtual machine has more than one image then I'm not sure how this is handled as I've only used single images for virtual machines. Any additional storage I need I handle over NFS directly to the virtual machine.

Perhaps ovirt doesn't automatically delete secondary images? Either way you should be able to delete them manually and reclaim space.
