#C01AHCD885S I have Airbyte 0.50.4 installed on a VM with 50GB for Docker objects, and the disk is being filled by Airbyte with many overlays (44G used by them) Is there any way to clean this? 97% of my disk is used by Airbyte!

Yes, there are ways to clean up disk space used by Airbyte. Here are some steps you can follow: 1. Remove Docker Volumes: Airbyte stores data in Docker volumes. You can remove these volumes to free up disk space. However, please note that this will delete all your data and reset your Airbyte instance. Here's how you can do it:
Copy code
bash docker compose down -v
2. Remove Data on Disk: You can also remove data stored on the disk. Here's how you can do it:
Copy code
bash rm -rf /tmp/dev_root   rm -rf /tmp/airbyte_local
3. Remove Docker Images: Airbyte connector images can take up a significant amount of disk space (~300MB per image). If you have multiple connectors, this can easily add up. You can remove unused Docker images to free up disk space. Here's how you can do it:
Copy code
bash docker system prune -a   docker volume prune
4. Clean up Minio Storage: If you're using Kubernetes, you can clean up Minio storage by deleting files and folders inside
/storage/airbyte-dev-logs/job-logging/workspace/
. Please note that these steps will delete your data and reset your Airbyte instance. Make sure to backup any important data before proceeding.

#C01AHCD885S I already did docker system prune -a About volumes, is there any way to add housekeeping without clearing the whole instance?
