Did CoPilot just eat up a bunch of my Dataverse storage space?

Posted on by 369

So my storage space was starting to get a little tight and I did a few things to mitigate that. But I noticed that my Backup Recovery environment was using far less "File Storage" than my production environment.

After digging in, I found that WebResourceBase in my Production environment was up to 6.8GB used, while WebResourceBase from my restored back up (just a few months old), was only 3.4GB used.

The only difference I can tell is that the old restored backup does not currently show any of the CoPilot sidebar menus in model driven apps. Both environments had CoPilot features enabled--I have just disabled it on both.

 

  1. Has anyone else noticed their WebResourceBase ballooning in size?
  2. Apart from my anecdotal experience, can anyone confirm whether it's related to the new CoPilot features?
  3. If CoPilot is the culprit, can it be removed cleared out for storage space?
  4. If it is the culprit and it can't be removed, where are the torches and pitchforks?
I have the same question (0)

    Hi @jzcase 

     

    I don't know if you have found your answer yet but for us the problem was link to the table/Entity Conservation Transcript. 

    This is a link to Microsoft documentation on the subject : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-copilot-studio/analytics-sessions-transcripts.  

    As explain in the section Change the default retention period  you can modify the Bulk Delete Conversation Transcript Records period to another one if you don't want to keep the history.

    I have the same problem. We also think it could be link to CoPilot features.
