If you've necessary privileges, you could change the retention period of the index to reduce its size. Just carefully evaluate the new retention and it's impact on data before implementing it (to avoid unwanted data loss).

There is no way to free disk space from the UI.  Even the delete command will not do so.

Releasing disk space should be done from the CLI after investigating what is consuming the space (it's not always Splunk).  If Splunk indexes are to blame then space can be recovered by setting frozenTimePeriodInSecs to a lower value for problem index(es).
