Hi, I have implemented rollover and delete in indices using ILM. I can see that the operation is happening as expected. But the Persistent Volume storage which is attached to the kubernetes nodes running Elasticsearch is not decreasing. The storage keeps on increasing. My expectation was that after an index is removed, some storage should be freed up in the PVC.  
Is there any setting that i need to do for this?
