C Drive Space is consumed by Governance QVDS, how to cleanse them?

[rohitk1609]

Hi team,

We have multi node architecture where we have one central, two proxies and two scheduler nodes are available. I have noticed that a huge  part of C drive is being consumed by few QVDs in C:\ProgramData\Qlik\Sense\Log. Check the below snapshot:

Can anyone guide me how to cleanse these qvds? we just need last 6 months data in Monitoring Apps.

Thanks,

Rohit

Hello , 

I think you can get rid of  QVDs corresponding to older version and not updated anymore. 

It also looks like you are updating different version of the same QVD 

governance_date_time_ops_7.7.0 & governance_date_time_ops_7.15.0 

OR

governance_time_range_ops_7.7.0 & governance_time_range_ops_7.15.0

so you should probaly check if you are not refreshing 2 versions of the same govenance app.

PS : of course instead of deleting, move the QVD to a backup folder so that you can restore them if necessary...
