Hi, I have my own local galaxy installed and things are great. However, I am running of space, is there a better way to free space from the GUI? I have been deleting sets/files from my history but it looks like the Usage still going up. I manually run the following scripts but still nothing change There are 5 scripts included in the Galaxy distribution that can be used to clean up unwanted histories, libraries and datasets. There are located in the <GALAXY_ROOT>/scripts/cleanup_datasets directory and are named: * delete_userless_histories.sh * purge_histories.sh * purge_datasets.sh * purge_folders.sh * purge_libraries.sh * delete_datasets.sh Is there better ways to do this task? Regards,
you can go to options. then click on show deleted datasets. then this will make appear all datasets that have been "deleted" but are not yet removed from the disk. You will see something like this: "This dataset has been deleted. Click here to undelete or here to immediately remove it from disk". Then just click to immediatly remove from disk and will do the work. i hope this helps. alfonso
Thank Alfonso, Where is the Options menu though? I do not see anything called Options.

Hi Alfonso, This menu is in the History panel (the far right window). The "Options" menu is now just a gear icon that pulls down a menu (but used to be a button called -> "Options"). If you mouse over it, the url ends in "history_options". See attached. Here is a wiki link that explains more about deleting/purging datasets. http://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Learn/Managing%20Datasets#Delete_vs_Delete_Per... We just updated some of the menu choices, and I'll re-do the wiki/screencast once that stabilizes, but the general gist is the same. You want to "purge" or "delete permanently" to remove from disk - no matter what it is - dataset, history, etc. If you just "delete", the data still is in your quota, with the benefit that it can be "undeleted", unless it has been there a really long time and our admin goes through and deletes it. (I believe that has happened maybe once to extremely old/untouched user-deleted account data, several years abandoned), but each admin runs their server differently. Deleted is like a "hold" box you plan to throw out later if you don't use it. Purge/Perm delete is what you have actually thrown out. Take care, Jen On 2/19/13 1:06 PM, Hakeem Almabrazi wrote:
