However, that will remove the oldest buckets first.</P> Tue, 22 Jul 2014 02:32:55 GMT martin_mueller 2014-07-22T02:32:55Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-delete-data-from-disk-without-removing-searchable/m-p/151503#M30809 <P>We have a dataset that we hid from the index via a "| delete" command, but we need the data purged from disk as well, without removing the still searchable portions of the index.</P> <P>Is the data just frozen and we can use the frozen expiration features to remove? Something else?</P> <P>Any suggestions on how to purge out this old data?</P> Mon, 21 Jul 2014 21:11:49 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-delete-data-from-disk-without-removing-searchable/m-p/151503#M30809 mmccul 2014-07-21T21:11:49Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/How-to-delete-data-from-disk-without-removing-searchable/m-p/151504#M30810 <P>You can use Splunk's regular data purging methods, either by size or by age.
