How to clean-up D365 environments

Hi, referring to the upcoming enforcement of the storage limits in D365 and CDS environments, I am trying to figure out how to shrink the size of my D365 environments, where I have only demo data, since I am using it only for demo, learning and training purposes. Saying that, I would expect to fit easily into the limits, however, this is not the case.

After analyzing the DB, in one of my instances I have found an incredible amount of records in the msdyncrm_mktactivity entity, occupying already 3GB of the storage, even though I do not use the marketing module actively, as any other of the D365 modules. I am going to remove those records using bulk delete.

But another source of heavy storage occupation is the WebResource entity, occupying another around 3GB. After analyzing the same in SSMS, I found something like the following:

Where is this huge number of records coming from (specifically the RESX files), while I have only the first-party D365 apps installed, and how can I decrease the size of this entity, without killing the existing functionality of the D365 apps?

    I agree that a support ticket is the best approach in this case.

    Hi,

    There is a known issue with the size of the WebResourceBase . Please raise a support ticket to get diagnosed and mitigated if that is the issue.

    Thanks in advance.
