FSCK REPAIR is useful to repair the Delta metadata and remove the reference of the files from the metadata that are no longer accessible. This can happen when these files have been manually deleted.</P><P></P> Fri, 25 Jun 2021 16:23:53 GMT https://community.databricks.com/t5/data-engineering/when-should-i-run-the-fsck-repair-command-on-my-delta-table/m-p/19538#M13111 brickster_2018 2021-06-25T16:23:53Z
