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.
