Hey @shanisolomonron , that's a classic copy-on-write when DVs are disabled. When DV's are enabled when a parquet file is removed, the same parquet file will be added back with a DV.

In the above scenario, if a.parquet has a DV associated with it and has a REMOVE action , and then a new file  new.parquet is added , it is an OPTIMIZE command .
