Prefect Community

Hi All,
I hope everyone is okay... Anyhow, my question is that we currently have Prefect set up in an Azure VM running Ubuntu 18.04 which is pushing the limit on disk usage. I've :
`sudo du -h /mnt/data/prefect/ &gt; log.txt`

and after reading the file found this:
`217G	/mnt/data/prefect/.prefect/results`

My question being is it safe to delete the results in the folder, and if not can they be stored elsewhere safely? Thanks!

You can delete them if you don’t need them yep.

You can also turn off checkpointing, the downside is you won’t be able to restart work from failure.

Documentation on checkpointing in case they're dumb enough to turn it off, *s'il vous plaît?*
