Question #276143 on Graphite changed:

Status: Open => Answered
Denis Zhdanov proposed the following answer:
Whisper is fixed size storage. When Graphite creates new metric it allocates
space in advance, so, it will newer grow.
So, disk usage can only grow when you create new metrics (and maybe even not
update them anymore).
In that case you can simply delete old whisper files (non-updated in last 14
days, for example) and empty directories with simply cron job, e.g. :
find /opt/graphite/storage/whisper -type f -name '*.wsp' -mtime +14 -delete
find /opt/graphite/storage/whisper -type d -empty -delete
