Hello!

In a server Inductive Automation folder there is Ignition folder wich is 23GB, probably is from the older Vision project that is still runing. I wonder if there are any files , logs or temp I can delete to free some space.

the current folder structure is as follow:

We have another Ignition4 folder we use for perspective project.

Any ideas on whether this is normal or not welcome.

Cheers!

All those `data_$timestamp`, `logs_$timestamp`, etc folders are backups we create on uninstall. If you don't need them, you can remove them.
