Hi. Does anyone know if this is an actual bug or if theres a fix for it? Having the same problem since upgrading to version 0.50.29. This has never been an issue for me before on versions 0.4*.

it has always been like that

I would disagree on that. I've been running Metabase since versions 0.30.* and not once have I had to delete anything from the /tmp directory. Same server, almost same user count all through. So, this is pretty new to me as an experience. But will have to use cron for now anyway.

Hi @Luiggi ,
I would like to clarify if it is safe to delete the .xml files located in /tmp/poifiles/ on Metabase? Are these files purely temporary, or could deleting them impact any ongoing export processes?

Thank you for your guidance!

hi @Luiggi
Could you confirm related the question? we have plan to housekeeping / deleting the record from those folder but, we need to know first what the impact if we do that in the the metabase application?

thank you

11

you might end up with some error on the report, but we're fixing that

12

so, i can assume is it bug? and the file in the those folder shouldn't be deleted until the metabase team fixed the issue?

thanks
