Hi All.  
I create daily indices and snapshots are created for indices 90 days and retain the snapshots for 7 more days.  
I create the NFS Fileshare Path for stored data index of the snapshot (3TB).  
but I have met a question that I try to delete snapshot to reduce disk usage. what can I do to reduce the disk usage?
