How to resolve error "The minimum free disk space (5000MB) reached for /opt/splunk/var/run/splunk/dispatch"?

[Federica_92]

I have this problem:
The minimum free disk space (5000MB) reached for /opt/splunk/var/run/splunk/dispatch.

So I cannot delete my data because splunk is full, I have tried to digit from command line :

   ./splunk clean eventdata -f

and I have tried to erase all my log from the splunk folder, but I have still the same problem.
Please can someone help me?

  The minimum free disk space (20000MB) reached for /opt/splunk/var/run/splunk/dispatch. 

I have no idea why.

You made the value larger? So now it is expecting 20GB free? What is your free disk space left on your host? Is this running on a laptop or something with very little disk space left?
