Storage Usage: Deleting

[jacobslutsky]

Hello,

   Does anyone have an easier way of clearing storage space other than through the web interface: System Settings - Advanced - Storage Usage.

It appears that I have to delete items one by one?  Are there any other methods?

Thanks,

-Jake

Asked this some time ago to support as well. There is no way to delete in bulk through the UI, so you best bet is looking at code.

 

You can delete from the online storage through the new API.

BTW make sure you use this http://ftrack-python-api.rtd.ftrack.com/en/latest/api_reference/entity/location.html?highlight=remove#ftrack_api.entity.location.Location.remove_component, instead of "session.delete".

Is there any way of doing a multiple delete without going through API ?

Once you are running ftrack 3.3.37, you can simply just delete the versions or even projects to get rid of any files using up the storage.

Bulk deleting only components is not yet supported via the web interface.

Hi, we are running ftrack 4.1.8 and after deleting versions of a project, the storage is still full, it has not even freed 1Byte.
Is there any way to check that versions are indeed deleted from storage?

Ftrack v 4.10.0
Same issue here - have deleted 5 old projects - one was a really large one, and seen zero usage change.

Hi Folks, 

Thanks for the follow-up on this thread. Just for visibility for the community, when you delete projects or items in the ftrack UI (for a cloud hosted site) the storage allowance should be correctly reflected in the ftrack UI. We've definitely seen the odd instance here and there where this hasn't happened though, and if anyone here is still seeing that please drop a message to support@ftrack.com with your site URL and our team will look into it and get you sorted. 

Hope that helps to clarify here.

Cheers,

Andrew
