Cannot create table The associated location ('dbfs:/mnt/[REDACTED]/folder/table_location') is not empty but it's not a Delta table

[Ancil]

Hi Team,

I have created new databricks workspace for using private network. I want to read/write/update delta table created in old databricks and stored in ADLS as delta.

Any one please help me on this?.....

I tried to create delta table in same location but getting error" Cannotcreate table (tablenmae) . the assosciated location (dbfs mount path) is not empty but its not a Delta Table

Hi @Ancil P A​ , It looks like the table location you are using is not empty. Could you please ensure that the table location is empty . You can use the "rm -r" command to delete the files recursively for that location.

Hi @Ancil P A​ , Databricks allows you to create a delta table on a non-empty location if the location has data in delta format. From, the error message it seems that the data is not in delta format.
