MashupProvider folder size keeps increasing

Hi experts,
 

We have a question regarding a specific situation we are having in our PowerBI server.


In the server in which PowerBI is installed, we noticed that the used disk space is increasing quickly
After a research, we detected that the folder with the problem is inside the PowerBI instalation itself: 

Server/.../Microsoft/MashupProvider/Cache


Starting two weeks ago, we are generating many GBs of data in that folders, but we cannot identify a reason.


My questions are:
1- Is there any way to program a deletion of caché and temp data in the PBI Report Server instalation? 
We know that there is a setting, but to be use with the client instalation. But what we need is to erase the data in the Server, not in our client installations.

2- Is there any way to identify if an specific object in the whole server (for instance a Dashboard) is generating tons of caché/temp data?

If you need any other information, please let me know!

Many thanks in advance!

Hi @fbrdanplu ,

 

There does not seem to be a similar best practice. See if similar official documentation can give you some help.

Preload the Cache (SSRS) - SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) | Microsoft Docs

How do I Clear the Report Server Cache? - Microsoft Dynamics CRM Forum Community Forum
