Hi.

Our current galaxy database is ~ 600 gb, most of which are user deleted datasets.

I followed the instructions here: https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/Config/PurgeHistoriesAndDat...

and ran the shell scripts in recommended order. One of them in particular (I think it was purge_histories.sh) took amost 24 hours to complete. However, it doesn't appear any / most of the files were actually deleted, since we still have ~ 600 gb of dataset files. Is there something obvious I can try to get the files purged correctly?

Hi Simon, I've moved this conversation to the -dev list since it involves a local installation. Datasets are not removed until the number of days specified with the -d to cleanup_datasets.py has elapsed. To remove all deleted data immediately, rerun the scripts outside of the provided wrappers and set -d to 0. --nate

Thanks.

Simon
