Hi @navinjadhav,

Please find a description of the knime_server/trash folder here: https://docs.knime.com/2019-12/aws_marketplace_server_guide/index.html#_permanent_data
It collects deleted workflows and data/files. You can list, restore and purge these deleted objects via

View -> Other… -> Server Recycle Bin

on the Analytics Platform connected to the KNIME server.

There is also a workflow to delete these objects, it is in the Examples folder of a new server installation or get it on the KNIME hub:

Empty the Server Trash Bin – knime

It wouldn’t harm your KNIME server installation if you delete the folders contents while the server is not running.

The other folder seems AWS-specific and doesn’t belong to the KNIME server installation.

Best,
Michael
