Databricks Managed RG Storage cost is High

Hi Community,

How to calculate the databricks storage cost and where to see the data which is stored and charged in databricks.
I'm trying to understand the storage cost on a managed resource group and i'm clueless about the data and where it is stored and how to check and delete them.

Also, in the user created databricks instance, can I get the cost split up for the entire billing?
For reference, I'm using Azure.

Hi,

How are you doing today? To understand Databricks storage costs in Azure, you can check where your data is stored and how it’s being charged. Managed tables, DBFS files, and Unity Catalog volumes are usually stored in an Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) account linked to your Databricks workspace’s managed resource group. You can find storage locations using commands like DESCRIBE DETAIL for tables or dbutils.fs.ls("dbfs:/") for DBFS files. To track costs, go to Azure Cost Management > Cost Analysis, filter by your Databricks resource group, and check storage-related charges. If you need a detailed cost split, Azure Cost Management provides breakdowns for compute, storage, and networking. To reduce costs, consider deleting unnecessary DBFS files, dropping unused managed tables, or removing unused volumes.

Regards,

Brahma
