When you check in job manage, do you select all apps and all status to see all your jobs?

Correct, I active see all the jobs however I only see 3 not the 10 that should be occupying the processing.

This type of errors is generally seen when the dispatch directory content for your user profile has stale jobs (which are not accessible via UI but available in dispatch directory eating your quota). You should work with your Splunk administrator to get your dispatch directory cleaned up.

Please which is the default route of these directories to review them

It should be $Splunk_Home/var/run/splunk/dispatch. There should a directory for each search job (from all users, folder name contains user name). Just get yours cleaned up.
