Hi,
thank you for answer.
I have tried to use the mentioned scripts but it seems that the order of their using at first time was incorrect.. As a result, the metadata in database tables are modified but the datasets files corresponded to deleted datasets in history remains unremoved. So, the following calling of the scripts in the right order (as indicated in wiki) also didn't delete the unused dataset files. Is there any way to update the metadata in tables according to the real state of files?
I think that the order of calling the scripts at first time was the following:
cleanup_datasets.py universe_wsgi.ini -d 1 -6 -r
cleanup_datasets.py universe_wsgi.ini -d 6 -1 -r
cleanup_datasets.py universe_wsgi.ini -d 2 -1 -r
cleanup_datasets.py universe_wsgi.ini -d 3 -1 -r
cleanup_datasets.py universe_wsgi.ini -d 4 -1 -r
cleanup_datasets.py universe_wsgi.ini -d 5 -1 -r
cleanup_datasets.py universe_wsgi.ini -d 1 -1 -r
cleanup_datasets.py universe_wsgi.ini -d 1 -2 -r
cleanup_datasets.py universe_wsgi.ini -d 1 -4 -r
cleanup_datasets.py universe_wsgi.ini -d 1 -5 -r
cleanup_datasets.py universe_wsgi.ini -d 1 -3 -r
cleanup_datasets.py universe_wsgi.ini -d 1 -6 -r

Also there are some strange things (imho) in galaxy.dataset table: there a lot of datasets id having or NULL total size:

mysql> select * from dataset where (id="148" or id="53" or id="86" or id="146" or id="330");

+-----+---------------------+---------------------+-----------+---------+--------+----------+-------------------+-------------------+-----------+------------+

I don't know how these records looked like before calling of the cleanup scripts, but is it possible that it is because of incorrect order of their calling? Is "discarded" state mean that the corresponded file should be deleted? But in my case all these files are still in database folder.
Please, let me know if you need any other of clarification of my questions.

Hi Sergei

This is a question better asked on 'galaxy-dev@bx.psu.edu' since you refer to your local Galaxy installation.


In order to remove the data from your file system, you need to run the 'cleanup scripts', as described on this wiki page:

Hello all,


After the deleating datasets from the history panel in our Galaxy mirror
the indicator at the top right corner shows the same amount of used
space as before deleting. Also, the files corresponded to the datasets
remains in the Galaxy database/files/000 directory. It seems, that
deleting of datasets from history is only delete the launch to file but
not the file itself. How to configure the Galaxy mirror to delete not
only records in history panel but also the corresponed files?
Thank you in advance!
