Delete a batch from current Batch Historian database

Only batches that have been archived can be deleted from the main database.

Note

Once a batch is deleted, it is no longer available through the main database. However, you cannot delete batch data unless it has been archived. Therefore, you can restore an archive to retrieve the deleted data.

Select the batch from the current database's Batch Events.
Right-click, and then select Delete.
Click Yes if you want to delete the selected batches or click No to abort the process without deleting the batches.
Click OK when the deletion is complete.

Note
Data that is in the process of being read cannot be deleted, detached, or archived. There will be locks on the data as long as the data is being read (for example, a query on the batch is being run) and therefore the action (delete, detach, or archive) will fail. As soon as the read is done (that is, the query is completed), the locks are released and the action (delete, detach, or archive) can be performed.
