In reply to ElSuketa. Hi ElSuketa I believe I did try that approach, however I don't have the code handy any more to be able to confirm that. Have you come across the same issue and WITH (PARTITION (1)) worked for you?

Thanks Rich for sharing this.
Does it mean that even TRUNCATE TABLE dbo.Employees WITH (PARTITIONS (1)) did not deallocate the stubborn pages ?

Sorry, the syntax is WITH (PARTITIONS (1))
