I recently performed data deletion across multiple buckets in InfluxDB v2.6.0 to free up server storage, focusing on older and unnecessary data. However, after executing the deletion, I have observed a rapid increase in server size, which is unexpectedly leading to the server reaching its maximum capacity much faster than anticipated.
I would appreciate any insights or recommendations on resolving this issue effectively. Kindly advise on possible reasons for this behavior and potential solutions to mitigate the rapid storage consumption.
Command used : influx delete --bucket ******** --start 2022-03-01T05:30:00Z --stop 2023-04-01T05:15:00Z --org ******* -t ******************************************* -p ‘_measurement=“*******”’
Thanks in advance
I think we discussed this over in community Slack already
