Firebase storage artifacts

Question

I\' trying to understand what eu.artifacts.%PROJECT NAME%.appspot.com is. It\'s currently taking up 800mb of storage from my daily 5gb limit. It contains only <

Answer 1

I've consulted GCP support and here are a few things

• Cloud Functions caused the surge in storage usage
• Since these artifacts are not stored in the default bucket, they'll charge you even if your total bytes stored are not reaching the free tier limit
• Remove the artifact bucket at https://console.cloud.google.com/storage/browser. According to the support staff

Regarding the artifacts bucket, you can actually get rid of them, as they are storing previous versions of the function. However, I do not recommend deleting the "gcf-sources..." bucket(s) , as it contains the current image, so deleting this bucket would mess up your function.

I tried to remove it in whole, and so far it is not causing trouble. I'll update if it break things later.

Edit 201118: See comment below and you might need to keep the bucket while removing all the content in it.
