Bacula will not, itself, remove file storage volumes. You must either remove 
them manually (`rm filename`) or write a script (bash, perl, etc.) which 
identifies purged volumes in the catalog & then removes the actual volumes. 
You can trigger these scripts either with run before, run after job 
statements, with admin jobs, or even cron jobs.
