    Thanks, I knew I would have to manually delete the files from disk, 
just wasn't sure if I needed to use delete volume, purge volume, or 
something else.

    Also, while I was tweaking things to get this all setup, I had some 
jobs go back and write to old volumes.  Later I set volumes to not be 
recycled and and only be used once.  Is there any way to make sure no 
jobs have files stores on a particular volume before I delete it?
