I have a computer that has not been online since July. For some reason, I do not have the option to delete this host. I have been able to delete others that are no longer online (our computer recently went through a large replacement). Is there another way to delete this host? Thanks in advance.

That computer still has results listed for it. Until those results are purged from the database you will not be able to delete it. These may be "orphaned" wu's which may take some time, but when they do disappear you will be given the option to delete it.

Some people plan their life out and look back at the wealth they've had.
Others live life day by day and look back at the wealth of experiences and enjoyment they've had.

They must be orphaned because they are dated August 2005. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to be a little more patient.

Thanks.

As Jim said, as long as the database 'thinks' you have units assigned t othat computer, you will not be able to delete it. It would cause database corruption. And we have 'been there, done that', already.

And if I'm not mistaken we should be getting some results on this soon. The latest I've heard from Eric and others is that the reason they have switched to deleting validated results immediately is to try to identify these "orphaned" work units so they can be removed safely. When this is done you will be able to delete your unused computer. So hopefully within the next few weeks or maybe even sooner!

I have done that a couple of times. Code that was supposed to delete a specific subtree that would delete from the root under certain failure conditions...

i remember daddy going up the wall when someone told me to boot the computer, after i deleted something because i didn't install it, it just did it on it's own, when daddy came in the room, i was kicking s**t out of the pc, see what happens when you give instruction to a 10 year old. choose your words carefully.
