I have a script that deletes physical disc and cloud volumes that are not
present in the catalog, perhaps because a job was manually deleted or
migrated. Is that what you want to achieve?

It's part of a collection of Bacula scripts that I use. It's too big to
post here but I'd be happy to share it. It's somewhat customised to my
setup so you'd likely need to modify it for your own purposes.
