Based on community experience with equivalent log directories:
• Yes, it is generally safe to delete the contents of that folder, as it contains job logs, not critical configuration or sync state data.
• Users have successfully cleared similar paths like /storage/airbyte-storage/job-logging/workspace and /storage/airbyte-dev-logs/job-logging/workspace/ to free up disk space. [MinIO storage full] [MinIO cleanup]
> ⚠️ Important caveats:
> • Deleting these logs means you will lose access to historical sync job logs in the Airbyte UI.
> • Do not delete the folder itself — only the contents (*), to avoid breaking the directory structure expected by Airbyte.
> • It's safest to do this when no syncs are actively running.
Preventing the issue from recurring To avoid the directory filling up again, you can reduce log retention by setting this environment variable in your `values.yaml`:
env_vars:
TEMPORAL_HISTORY_RETENTION_IN_DAYS: 7
This reduces the default 30-day retention to 7 days. [GitHub issue] [Log sweeping] 👍 0 button 👎 0 button ℹ️ Tip: Mention @kapa.ai in the thread for follow-ups or DM the app for 1-to-1 help.kapa.ai
05/19/2026, 7:08 PM/var/local-path-provisioner/airbyte-local-pv/job-logging/workspace/), but based on similar cases discussed for equivalent Airbyte log directories, you can use standard Linux commands to delete the contents.
Option 1: Delete all contents inside the folder rm -rf /var/local-path-provisioner/airbyte-local-pv/job-logging/workspace/*
Option 2: Delete files older than N days (e.g., 7 days) find /var/local-path-provisioner/airbyte-local-pv/job-logging/workspace/ -mindepth 1 -mtime +7 -exec rm -rf {} +

> • Make sure no syncs are actively running to avoid corrupting in-progress job logs.
> • This will remove historical logs from the Airbyte UI.
> • Delete the contents, not the folder itself.
