Setting reclaim will not reclaim a block it will only set a flag on that
block and every block under it that will prevent that block (or a child of it)
from being assigned or allocated while that flag is set.
to remove an allocation/assignment from the database you seed to search
for the block and click on the reclaim button in the search screen.
I think that will do the trick.
