Hi, my back up disk is out of space  
I try to remove the old snapshot, but I getting an error:

{  
"error": {  
"root\_cause": [  
{  
"type": "repository\_exception",  
"reason": "[backup] failed to delete snapshot [snap\_2020\_01\_19/L33eLEvEQeiCzN5qy1s-IQ]"  
}  
],  
"type": "repository\_exception",  
"reason": "[backup] failed to delete snapshot [snap\_2020\_01\_19/L33eLEvEQeiCzN5qy1s-IQ]",  
"caused\_by": {  
"type": "file\_system\_exception",  
"reason": "/home/elastic2/back/pending-index-54-gsAYrKg2Spui09ofZ3q1HQ: No space left on device"  
}  
},  
"status": 500  
}

Is it any idea how to clean space on this disk :)?
