How to Clean Up You can safely delete the files and folders inside this workspace/job-logging directory to free up disk space. This is a known and accepted approach. [MinIO Storage Full]
Preventing Future Space Issues To avoid running out of space again, you can configure Airbyte to automatically clean up logs more frequently by setting the following environment variable:
env_vars:
TEMPORAL_HISTORY_RETENTION_IN_DAYS: 7 # Default is 30 days
Reducing this value (e.g., to 7 days) will cause Airbyte to sweep old workspace/log files more frequently. [Log Sweeping; Quickly Run Out of Storage]
> Note: The default retention is 30 days, which can cause the storage to fill up quickly if you have frequent or large syncs. Adjusting TEMPORAL_HISTORY_RETENTION_IN_DAYS is the recommended long-term solution. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.Rafael Felipe

Then delete the contents of the log directories:
/storage/airbyte-storage/job-logging/workspace
You can also optionally clean up:
/storage/airbyte-storage/workload/output
[Sync Jobs Hanging]
Option 2: Delete Files from the Host Path Directly Since your path is a local PV (/var/local-path-provisioner/...), you can delete the contents directly from the Linux host:
rm -rf /var/local-path-provisioner/airbyte-local-pv/job-logging/workspace/*
This will remove all log files while keeping the directory structure intact. [MinIO Cleanup]
> ⚠️ Note: Deleting logs will clear all historical sync logs from the Airbyte UI. Your connections, credentials, and configurations will not be affected.
Prevent Future Buildup After cleaning up, set a shorter log retention period to avoid this happening again:
env_vars:
TEMPORAL_HISTORY_RETENTION_IN_DAYS: 7
You can also increase the MinIO PVC size in your values.yaml if needed:
minio:
storage:
volumeClaimValue: 2Gi

So the relevant paths to clean up would be inside the MinIO pod/storage, not under /var/lib/docker/. Based on the knowledge sources, the directories to target are:
• /storage/airbyte-storage/job-logging/workspace/
• /storage/airbyte-storage/workload/output/

The knowledge sources do not explicitly describe the exact filesystem layout for Airbyte 2.0's local path provisioner beyond what's been mentioned. However, since you found the logs at /var/local-path-provisioner/airbyte-local-pv/job-logging/workspace, that is your equivalent path on the host — you can clean that directory directly from the Linux host as discussed previously.
> ⚠️ If you're unsure about other directories under /var/local-path-provisioner/, I'd recommend being cautious and only deleting contents of known log directories (job-logging/workspace and workload/output) to avoid accidentally removing configuration or database data. 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.Rafael Felipe
