If you are doing a backup to disk (filesystem) then you can simply delete
oldest/not required volume in bacula and rm it from filesystem.

There are "best practice" for optimal volume management when you use
filesystem based volumes:
- use 1 job / volume
- use action on purge = truncate
- adjust your retention policy and backup schedule (more Incr, less Full)
- use compression on client if you have enough computing power
- use filesystem level compression on storage daemon
