Reclaim snapshot space

Hi All, I recently deleted the Elasticsearch repository in dev env without doing a clean-up of its snapshots. After deleting the repository the disk space is not reduced. How do it do the clean-up of indices to reclaim the storage

Hi @asik.

Can you try running snapshot cleanup command described in this document? Clean up snapshot repository API | Elasticsearch Guide [8.15] | Elastic
