I need help with getting
.prefectignore
set up properly. Details on my problem are in this github issue. In short, I have large files that are being uploaded on each deployment. And it seems like they are staying there regardless of
.prefectignore
. Do I need to delete the entire deployment and redeploy? Also, where does prefect look for
.prefectignore
when deploying from a python file?

I think clearing your storage and building the deployment again should stop it from downloading those big files on flow run.

I'm using local storage. So I guess my question is, how do I clear storage? I know that when the deployment is run a temp file is created in
/tmp
but where is that pulling from?
