Hi All,
The snapshot repository I've registered on my cluster is full. I've being trying to delete some of older snapshots but I keep receiving `"No Space left on device"` error message.
I tried deleting them directly through the Kibana's Snapshot and Restore section, also I tried using the Snapshots API but not success.
Can I delete the snapshots directly from my NFS repository? If yes, Is there any specific process or steps to follow?
Regards,
Jesus

What do you mean by that exactly?
