Hi Greg,
I have just tried out the last Galaxy sources and in particular the purging
scripts. They work fine. W.r.t the decision you made, it is fine by us.
Those scripts are quite well documented and they have very useful flags.
cheers,
Erick

Hello Erick,
We discussed this and decided that at the current time there is no
significant gain from adding this additional item to the Admin menu. The
scripts have all been designed to execute via cron and can also easily be
run from the command line. We don't want to configure additional threads to
handle this process via the web interface. We hope this decision will not
cause problems for your instance.

Hi Greg,
are there still any plans to add a link to the clean_datasets.py
script from the Admin view?

Hi Erick,
The process we've been using on our Galaxy instances has been to set up
cron
to execute the shell scripts on a daily basis, something like this:
# clean up datasets
0 7 * * * cd /var/opt/home/g2test/server-home/test ; sh
./scripts/cleanup_datasets/delete_userless_histories.sh ; sh
./scripts/cleanup_datasets/purge_histories.sh ; sh
./scripts/cleanup_datasets/purge_datasets.sh
This works quite well, and the logs files for each of these processes can
be
viewed to see what occurred.
We'll definitely consider adding a link to this script in the Admin view as
well.

Hi Greg,
thanks for the heads-up.
the scripts work fine; however, it would be great to have such
functionality from within the Admin interface (Data section?). Are there
any
plans to implement such request?
cheers,

Hi Erick,
Never do this manually as it will result in problems in your
Galaxy instance. Use the
~/scripts/cleanup_datasets/cleanup_datasets.py script in the
Galaxy distribution. Refer to the
http://g2.trac.bx.psu.edu/wiki/PurgeHistoriesAndDatasets wiki for
deatils about executing the script.
The wiki is a bit outdated - we have a bitbucket ticket open ( #
99 -
http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/99/update-the-purgehisto...
) to correct this.

Hi,
how can I purge my deleted datasets that were imported so
that I could clean a bit my disk? I saw they are under
database/files/000/*
thanks,
Erick
