Database does not clear after clearing log on settings
-
Hi,
The database space used by Simple History has grown up to 250 + mb and I would need to reduce it.
I read this > simple_history_contexts 258.5 mb.
The clear log option from the settings does not seem working nor the 60 days auto clearance. This is what I see after clearing the log.
Is it ok if I empty manually the DB simple_history_contexts from my SQL?
Thank you,
Marco

Hi! It should be safe to clear it (but don’t remove it, just empty/truncate it).
This is probably due to MySQL for performance reasons not giving the hd space back after using truncate on a table. I was not aware of this when I created the clear-function some years back.
I’ll add it to my todo list to take a look at this behavior.
