Instead of usinq the Appian Plugin, I suggest to use Reporting Service to generate the excel file dynamically and send to the users the Url to download It

it is not recommended to pull the data with such huge load and this will impact performance. My thoughts are like as you are sending the links to the documents when u delete timely if the user at later point of time needs to check the documents he might go through the old link again and will not find the document.
Please try the suggestion given by ashwin, as small chunks of data will not result bad performance.

Can you breif your requirement here so that we will try to give the possible solutions with the best practices?

can you try doing several query entities with a chunk of the subset like 1000 rows at a time. Then try call the export to excel file for each. then on forum there might be a plugin to combine excel files....if not you might have to code one up....this is a common issue that developers face with excel generation of large data...

These are very large files to be storing long-term on the server. Could you remove the export functionality and just allow the data to be viewed using Appian functionality?

Otherwise, could you have an automated process delete these files after a set period of time?
