Abstract
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method, an electronic device, and a program product for reclaiming a storage space. The method includes: determining the number of a plurality of blocks to be merged into one block based on a space usage of a storage system; selecting a block combination for merging from a plurality of partially used blocks of the storage system, the block combination including the determined number of partially used blocks; and reclaiming a storage space from the storage system by merging the partially used blocks in the block combination into one block. In this way, resources of the storage system can be efficiently utilized, so that more partially used blocks are reclaimed, thereby reclaiming the storage space more effectively.
