Cannot find a way to remove spark applications and history from analytics engine spark (cp4d).

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

The customer is using Watsonx.data with both Analytics Engine Spark and Native Spark. Over time, a large number of Spark applications and historical records have accumulated since last year.

While there is a workaround to remove some records from Native Spark (referencing this Slack thread), there is no apparent solution to remove records from Analytics Engine Spark (CP4D).

As a result, the customer is experiencing the following issues:

  1. Timeouts when attempting to open the Spark applications page.

  2. The Spark History Server frequently returns a 50X error on the first access, requiring multiple refreshes to view the page successfully.

These issues are impacting the customer's ability to manage and monitor their Spark workloads effectively. A solution is needed to address the excessive Spark history data and improve the stability of the Analytics Engine Spark interfaces.
