Clean unused disk space

We have a table that memsql studio says is in 5gb in size, though on disk we see approx 27gb in the data folder. After further analyzing it seems the data/logs is holding approx 16gb.
Is this needed ? is there a way to clean it ?

Here’s a support article I found useful while working on a capacity forecast. It details the different types of files other than data that are stored on disk and which can / cannot be safely cleaned up.
