1. Open SQL Server Management Studio.

2. Connect to the SQL Server instance you want to configure.

3. In the Object Explorer, navigate to the SQL Server Agent node > Jobs.

4. Right-click the Jobs node, and select "New Job".

5. In the "New Job" dialog box, enter a name and description for the job.

6. On the "Steps" page, click "New" to create a new step.

7. In the "New Job Step" dialog box, enter a name for the step.

8. In the "Command" box, enter the following command:

DEL C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL15.MSSQLSERVER\MSSQL\Log\Polybase\dump*.* /s /q

This command will delete all files in the specified directory.

1. On the "Schedules" page, set the schedule for the job, such as daily, weekly, or monthly.
