I've been having some problems with purging histories. I've recently ran some BWAs and after transferring the BAMs to a new history, I purged the histories that created them. It was my understanding that if you delete one instance of a file in one history, and it's still available in another history, the file itself would not be deleted.

After this happened, the BAMs claim the jobs that created them had not finished and they cannot undergo further analysis, yet the mapping had finished. I'm quite annoyed as there were quite a lot of BAMs I've lost yet my disk usage has not gone down, so is it possible they can still be recovered?

Harry,

Sorry for this - your datasets have been restored, please let us know if anything is amiss.

We are still working on tracking down the exact cause of this. It'd help us out if you could let us know the exact steps you took to copy the datasets and permanently delete histories, as Galaxy provides a number of different ways to do each of these steps.

Thanks,

Hi Nate,

Thanks very much yes everything is restored, huge relief! I opened the view all history pane and dragged the data sets into a new history. Once this had been done I used the drop down arrow and clicked purge above the old histories, see image:
