Hello All Experts,

Why this is that when i have already created a minimal copy but still i am getting a huge lot of data.

i have checked it in the service health on the portal.

is it because , system jobs are not get deleted or something else.

    Hi,

    As I known, a Minimal copy only includes users, customizations, and schema from the source instance and is suitable for:  

    •Iterative team development

    •Partner/ISV solutions

    •Proof of concept

    An example scenario +  

    Isaac has a large development project starting next week for the sales department. He has a team of developers ready to start on the project, some of whom are internal to Contoso and some are external vendors. The Contoso sales application contains Personally Identifiable Information (PII) that the sales manager has explicitly stated must not be made available to any external parties for privacy and legal liability reasons. Isaac requests a minimal copy Sandbox instance that does not contain any production data or users. In addition, Isaac creates an Office 365 security group to give the development team access to the Sandbox instance.  

    After modifying and enabling some of the plug-ins, the developer Sandbox instance functions the same and is completely isolated from the production application. The development team works on their modifications in this instance for several weeks. They package their changes into a solution and export/import to deploy to the full copy Sandbox instance. After a successful round of testing and signoffs, the changes are manually deployed to production.
