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 feel like I saw a practice question that mentioned deleting events doesn't really free up disk space, but I'm not 100% on that.

Option C sounds right to me. I'm pretty sure events are just marked as deleted rather than physically removed from disk.

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.

A is just silly. Who deletes events from disk? That's not how it works, right?
