Which of the following is an accurate statement about the delete command?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

The delete command in Splunk does not remove events from disk but rather marks them as 'deleted' in the index. This means the events are not accessible via searches, but they still occupy space on disk. Only users with the can_delete capability (typically admins) can use the delete command.

I thought deleting events would reclaim disk space, guess I was wrong.

I thought the delete command was supposed to remove events from disk, but now I'm questioning if that's really how it works.

I think the key here is to focus on what the delete command actually does. The question is asking about an accurate statement, so I'll need to carefully consider each option.
