Storage Calculation in Fabric Capacity Metrics App
Hi Team/Community I have a fabric workspace with a lakehouse and a warehouse. In the Fabric Capacity Metric App there is a ridiculous high amount of used storage listed for that workspace. How is this Storage calculated in the Fabric Capacity Metrics App? what is considered as Storage? Is there also caching and metadata included? How can I find the resources/objects which use the most storage? Greatly appreciate any advice! Thanks in advance!
