My ELK stack the /dev/mapper/centos-root directory is getting full (95%)

[zanoob]

Hello All,
Trying to figure out how, but still no luck.
If someone can help me out here in this.
My Elasticsearch node is getting full

[root@srvde432 nodes]# df -h
Filesystem               Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs                 7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /dev
tmpfs                    7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs                    7.8G  792M  7.0G  10% /run
tmpfs                    7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /sys/fs/cgroup
/dev/mapper/centos-root   50G   48G  3.0G  95% /
/dev/sda2               1014M  236M  779M  24% /boot
/dev/mapper/centos-home  2.0T  1.7T  293G  86% /home
tmpfs                    1.6G     0  1.6G   0% /run/user/0

Is there any way I can delete the old files and make sure that to delete files when the nodes gets to 90% ?

Also ran

[root@srvde432 bin]# curator --config /etc/curator/config.yml /etc/curator/action.yml

To delete files that are older than 90 days.

However, even after deleting old indices it still shows as 95 %

[root@srvde432 /]# df -h

devtmpfs                 7.8G     0  7.8G   0% /dev

The logstsah log file is keeping the old files from 2020 as well.
The log4j.properties files was set to default , hence I guess it did not delete.
I set the log4j.properties files with following additional lines
Restarted logstash service to see if that delete old files.

That did not help.
Did a rm command to remove the files with command 'rm file_name_2020*'
to delete all files named 2020 , I was able to but still when I check the directory again , the files does gets deleted with rm command (even though no error in deleting it ).
