Hey Gaurav, Orphan files do not affect Iceberg's performance, since Iceberg performs no list operations. It will only increase your storage bill since you have files around that are not relevant anymore. iceberg tables do need periodic maintenance, for example, it is good to rewrite small files <https://iceberg.apache.org/docs/latest/spark-procedures/#rewrite_data_files> into bigger ones to avoid many calls to your storage.
I hope this answers your question.
