Sorry not to explain me clearly.  
I mean: I create a filesystem with a folder with a month name, so, every two months I delete the snapshots via API, but the files remain in the disk, so I delete the folder physically.  
If I delete the snapshots with curator, it deletes also the files in the disk?
