title: Why drop key-space data did not removed with its snapshot files from Disk?
body: <p>I used the <code>DROP KEYSPACE</code> command to perform a drop operation for my keyspace from cassandra cluster; the operation was successfully executed, but why weren't the data files for that keyspace (and its snapshots) removed?</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to drop keyspace and contextually remove from disk all files related to it?
  Or should cassandra usersremove this data manually?</p>
  
  <p>apache cassandra version : 2.0.10 </p>
  
  <p>Thanks &amp; Regards</p>
