Are you sure the problem is on a Deployment Server?  I ask because Splunk Cloud does not contain DS instances and because DSs do not store data.

To reduce storage, go to Settings->Indexes and reduce the "Searchable retention" value.  That may not be an option for internal indexes (it isn't on my instance) so you'll have to contact Splunk Support for assistance.
