Hi Eric,

I found in my task list about 700 old finished task from 2013.
Perhaps that may be slow down your database, so can you clean my account?

Thanks!
Mike

There is also 37 old ones from february/march 2013 on my account. Wonder why they are still there? You can't see the actual workunits when you click them anymore.

Maybe there is generally a lot of stuck tasks from that period on peoples account.

That has always happened here.

Back in 2004 and years after that we would have 100+ of the 5 second tasks sitting there waiting for years but they mostly disappeared when we updated here not long ago.

The tasks and the credits tend to work much better these days.

Please cleanup the database.

Old tasks from 11 Nov 2019 not deleted from database: https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=251472911 and https://lhcathome.cern.ch/lhcathome/result.php?resultid=251472915

Corresponding workunits are purged at least.

I also have 4 still hanging around from the same day.
And nearly 5,000 tasks over at _dev that go back to April '19
Maybe it's more time-consuming for someone to manually delete these old ones than the benefit of the freed up space?
