Hi Hilary, You came across something we are thinking of adding in (an option to "remove from disc" in one go, for all deleted datasets in a history). Some sort of indication that the "delete from disc" really purged is a nice idea - we can think about that. For now, you would know if it was really deleted if the dataset didn't show up anymore when "Options -> Show Deleted Datasets" was used. So, for right now, the quickest way around having to click on each twice is to use "Options -> Clone". The new cloned history will only have the undeleted datasets, leaving the rest behind. Then use "Options -> Saved Histories", check the box for the original history, and click on the button "delete and remove datasets from disc". You may need to "switch" away from the original history first (the active history - in the right pane - cannot be deleted). "Options -> Copy Datasets" can be used, too, just is a few more clicks. Clone is quick. Just be sure to name the histories and double check content before purging, so that you don't delete something important by accident. An improved help section to cover managing datasets (with info such as this) is being added to our wiki today/tomorrow. Should be helpful when quotas are started, Take care, Jen Galaxy team On 10/5/11 11:18 AM, Hilary Morrison wrote:
Thanks Jennifer; but it raises another question. When I try that, it says there are 113 datasets and I've delete all by 18 or 19 of the final versions. Plus I've used a phenomenal amount of space. I *do* really want to delete all but the final groomed datasets; those are the ones I want to share with specific users.
Do I have to go through and view each of them and click on the "really delete" link? I can't tell if it's working.

Hello,
Admin permissions are not required to share/publish a history containing datasets. Use "Options -> Share or Publish" to view the options:
1 - generate a link that you can email to specific users 2 - publish the dataset publicly so that everyone can view it under "Shared Data -> Published Histories". 3 - enter in specific user accounts to grant access. You will need to know their Galaxy account's email address.
This creates "Shared History" content, but not "Data Libraries" (which is for local instances). Simply put the data that you want to share into a history to group it together and it will provide the same functionality.
Hopefully this helps,
Best,
Jen Galaxy team
