Pablo,

An extreme fix is to stop stop NiFi and completely delete the provenance
repository directory.  You will get a new, empty provenance repository when
you restart NiFi.  All data will be lost, but NiFi will work again.

Obviously, Lee's advice is much better, but there are options if you need
them.
