Hello @Anaisdg ,
The problem seems to be the partable backup not deleating the .tmp folders.
I found the solution here: Running influxd.exe backup -portable leaves <x>.tmp folders in data directory on Windows · Issue #16289 · influxdata/influxdb · GitHub
Restarting Influx cleaned up all .tmp folders.
I’ll upgrade from 1.8.0 to 1.8.9 (in the ubuntu repos) and hope this will work without periodically restart.
UPDATE: I upgraded to 1.8.9 but got a starting script issue which I could solve with this thread: Influxdb 1.8.7 will not start - #38 by vince
I hope this will do the job now deleting the .tmp folders without restarting influx. @Anaisdg thank you very much for you help!
