MySQL DB Taking up a lot of space - how can I connect to it to see details and clear it out?

Hi Reiner_Nippes

It seem that we are on the same boat. See my post:

Nextcloud Snap 21.0.1 with 1GB mysql binlog files generated every 1h

Hello Nextcloud Snap did upgrade itself to 21.0.1 successfully a couple of days ago. Everything is running fine, sometimes a bit slow, but not a problem for me. The issue that I have, is that the free space available is shrinking by about 1GB every hour. I did some digging and found that in the directory /var/snap/nextcloud/27920/mysql a new sequential log file of about 1GB get generated every hour we are now at logbin.000049 I have approx. 24GB left, and therefore 24h to solve the issue…

Cheers
Kenny
