Delete data from the main database

To delete data from the main database, perform the following steps:

1. Select the archived batch and chronicle events, and then click Batches\Events → Delete. This frees up space in the main database for more batch and chronicle events.

2. Verify the newly created space by selecting the DVHisDB database, clicking Database → Properties from the main menu, and looking at the Database Space tab.

You should develop a structure and naming convention for your archive databases to help manage your historical batch information. The Batch Historian Administration Tool allows you to create folders for your archive databases. You can easily move the archive database containers to and from these folders.
