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 The wiki is a bit outdated - we have a bitbucket ticket open ( # 99 - http://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/issue/99/update-the-purgehisto...)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 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.

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.
