Hello,

We have overflow /opt/splunk/var/spool/splunk directory. It contains stash.new files from 2014 year to today. Splunk doesn't clean their itself.
We used script fill_summary_index.py for clean stash.new files but it didn't take desired result. Files in this directory don't clean.
I don't can find appropriate method for cleaning these files.

Can we to remove manually these files from folder?

Please help!
