Hi community,
We are using a sandbox T4 Finops environment to act as a baseline with migrated data to other sandbox environments.
We start with a clean set of data and use DMF to load lots of zip files containing setup and transactional data(originating the source system from the customer)
Now I noticed in the admin powerplatform view that our file storage is very high.
This got me looking into the storage account used by Finops where I see a couple of folders keep coming back on multiple sandbox environments:
* DMF
* Documents
* temporary-file
The first one is containing those zip-files which we loaded via DMF.
Second is holding document attachments.(docuref-docuvalue attachments)
But I'm not sure about this last one, it seems it is holding again some DMF related data + also loads of .tmp files.
The total number of size of this last one is a staggering 480GB.
So I'm wondering if someone knows what kind of data ends up in this temporary-file folder + if there is an out-of-the-box approach into cleaning these?
I could just delete its contents but am afraid I might delete some data needed by the environment.
As for cleaning the DMF folder, I was hoping the: 'Job history cleanup' in DMF would handle that but documentation only talks about sql data, not uploaded blob files:
Guess important to take into account is that these sandbox environments are handled by MS so writing your own scripts to autoclean these storage accounts might stop working when any update gets enforced.
Anyone else facing this, knows a way to safely clean the storage account?
