DataStorage Sdd.fs

[rtroleis1990]

Hello, how are you.

How could I be deleting a file I uploaded to the .sdd.fs. Folder?

To be honest, I never tried this.
Does the UI show any errors when you try to delete the file?
What may be worth a try is to delete the file from either the command line, or by using e.g. WinSCP.

this is meta data, the file should not be touched/deleted!

Hi @rtroleis1990 ,

These are more of system file and not something a user might have uploaded. Please refer this article for more information -- > About VMFS system files overhead 

Hope that helps

You can delete files that you accidentaly uploaded to the directory .sdd.sf with rm from commandline or via WinSCP.
Avoid this in future - there is no documentation about the purpose of this directory and creating to many or to large files inside this directory will corrupt the datastore.
