I do not think so. Several individual datasets have been deleted (clicked the upper-right X on the history item box) but no History has been permanently deleted.
Is there any indication in the database if target dataset or datasets were marked for permanent deletion? In the dataset table, I see fields "deleted", "purged", and "purgable", but nothing that says permanently deleted.
I would welcome clarification from the Galaxy Team, here and on the wiki page which might benefit from a flow diagram? https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Performance/Purge%20Histories%20... My assumption is using "permanently delete" in the user interface marks an entry as "purgable", and then it will be moved to "purged" (and the associated file on disk deleted) by the cleanup scripts - but I'm a bit hazy on this any why it takes a while for a user's usage figures to change.
