https://github.com/influxdata/influxdb/issues/20787

How can I delete stuff without resizing the disk???

Research direction

Start by reading the linked issue #20787 and examining the reported DELETE command failure when only 1 MB remains on disk. Identify the deletion behavior and tests needed for this full-disk case; done means the requested deletion path is defined and verified without requiring disk resizing.
