SABnzbd Forums

Hi all,

I could swear that in previous versions of SABnzbd, I was able to purge completed NZBs from the History (Archive) using the "Purge History" trash can icon, just like in the regular History tab. However, in SABnzbd v4.5.5, clicking the trash can icon in the Archive view no longer does anything.

I can still manually select items using checkboxes and purge them page by page, but with many pages to go through, that’s not a practical solution.

Has this feature been deprecated or broken in the latest release? If so, is there a file or folder in my Windows user directory that I can safely delete to clear the archived history all at once?

Thanks in advance for any guidance!

You mean the popup doesn’t show?

Clicking "Show Archive/Show All" opens "History (Archive).
Clicking "Purge History" (The trashcan icon) opens "Purge History" menu.
Clicking: "Purge Failed NZBs", "Purge Failed NZBs & Delete Files" (After moving downloaded files), "Purge Completed NZBs", and/or "Purge NZBs on the current page (10)", with or without first checking "Permanently delete (skip archive)", results only in the return to the display of "History (Archive)" with all of the downloaded files still listed.

Hmm, I cannot reproduce this.
When I have the "Skip archive" checked the archived jobs are all removed.
Does different browser matter?

I've tried with only Chrome, Chrome Beta, and Edge.

I hate to do it, but it might be time to retire my Windows 10 desktop and join the Microsoft Borg with Windows 11 to see if that makes a difference.

As you can't reproduce it, I'm letting this issue go for now. If it continues with Windows 11 and a new desktop computer, I'll return.

I double checked the code, it should work for all cases.
Could definitely be a bug of course.
