Hi pallavi\_N,

The quarantined data are not in the database because it was failed to push the data to the database. So it will not occupy more storage in the database. The Total dropped means the number of records that weren't able to be stored in the Store and Forward due to no available space in the data cache. If you would like to investigate why you have quarantined data please reach out to [support](https://support.inductiveautomation.com/hc/en-us).
