Greetings,
Despite being an admin, I am unable to remove old datasets from our Galaxy instance. I am following the procedure detailed in:
- delete_userless_histories.sh
- purge_histories.sh
- purge_libraries.sh
- purge_folders.sh
- delete_datasets.sh --> desired to remove datasets before their outer container had been deleted
- purge_datasets.sh
None of the scripts have been changed. They all call cleanup_datasets.py with –d at 10 and –r enabled.
But it does not appear to have any effect. All datasets (both those older than 10 days and those more recent) in <galaxy root>/database/files are still present, despite the –r setting in each script.
Is there some parameter or such that needs to be set in the universe config that will allow this process to work?
