I have been going to every BOINC project in which I participate and deleting some old hosts that I dismantled months ago for parts. However, I cannot delete them at LHC@home because they still have results from early 2006 listed (see http://boinc-wiki.ath.cx/index.php?title=Computer_Summary_Page#.22Delete_This_Host.22_Link).

Why are result records keep for so long at LHC@home? Is there anyway around this?

This has been a problem for a long time and there are a few discussions about it on the message boards from months back. I think I have some hosts with results dating back to July 2005. There is a bug that prevents some results from being purged from the database. Hopefully this is one of the things that will get fixed after the project is moved over to new management in January.
