unable to delete certain events

Post by troyy0206 »

I'm running ZMLarch 1.24.2 and the PurgeWhenFull filter seems to be running ok, except I have some old events that simple will not go away. On one DVR I have over 900 events that will not delete and the other has over 20,000 that will not delete. I set a filter to view all events before 5/1/2011 and select "delete all matches" and when I click Submit, it just refreshes the list but never deletes them. I can delete one of those events fine, but if I click Select All they will not delete either. The odd thing is the PurgeWhenFull filter seems to be running ok and it's purging old events otherwise, these events just won't delete and it's using up disk space it shouldn't be. I even set the filter to run in the background and let it go for a few days and it did not affect anything.

Any suggestions?

Maybe a dumb question but, are they marked as Archived?
Otherwise I would run a check on the tables in the database as described in the wiki or check permissions on the files if they are the only thing lingering.
