GALAXY LOCAL INSTALLATION: Remove history
Hi Galaxy devs, I've installed Galaxy in local and I see that in spite of the users remove their histories using the "Delete history" option, the used space is not free. As I understand reading the Galaxy documentation, after deleting the history, the history is marked as "Deleted" but files are not removed. After 60 days, Galaxy automatically remove them.
1. If you delete a specific history using the **Options** link at the top of the history panel, that history and all of its associated datasets will be removed from disk 60 days after you deleted the history. 2. Those specific history items ( datasets ) that you delete from one of your histories by clicking the "X" icon in the history item will be removed from disk after 60 days, but unless you manually delete your history, you will still be able to view the history itself ( only the dataset that you deleted from your history will be removed from disk ).
I suppose this should be the default behavior too for local installations. but I did not configure anything about that and I need to confirm this is true because the used space becomes bigger each day! Is there any way to change this periodicity to less days? Thank you and regards, Rafa Hernández de Diego Genomics of Gene Expression Lab.

Hi Rafa, The cleanup interval is customizable. Please see the documentation at: http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/Config/Performance/Purge%20Histories%20a... And let us know if you have any difficulties. --nate
