Has anyone successfully purged old syncs from airbyte-db
public.attempts

Based on the information in the referenced discussion, there is no explicit confirmation from any user that they have successfully purged old syncs from the Airbyte database's
public.attempts
table. The discussion does mention that the table can grow quite large and that there is interest in purging or cleaning up old records. A maintainer suggests that, while you can configure the
TEMPORAL_HISTORY_RETENTION_IN_DAYS
variable to manage retention for Temporal logs and tables, there is currently no built-in cleanup routine for the
attempts
and
jobs
tables in the Airbyte platform code. The maintainer agrees that such a feature would be useful to prevent disk space issues, but no user in the thread reports having performed or automated this purge themselves. Therefore, there is no documented successful purge of the
public.attempts
table in the provided knowledge sourcesĀ [Purging of old syncs from Airbyte databases](https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/discussions/55233).
