Hello,

Is there a way to delete the csv file created with "outputcvs" command on Splunk Cloud.
I cannot find them under "Settings"->"Lookups".

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Iris_Pi 

Are you even able to run outputcsv on your Splunk Cloud stack? The docs state 'If you have Splunk Cloud Platform, you cannot use this command'

There arent any ways to interact with the filesystem on Splunk Cloud or commands to delete files in the $SPLUNK_HOME/var/run/splunk/csv directory.

maybe there's no way to delete them but overwrite them with a empty dataset.

I saw that comment in the command reference guide too, maybe the document is out of date?

As showed below, I can run outputcsv on cloud platform:
