Question: How do I shrink the size of the Foxhound database?
Answer: The easiest way is to purge old sample data and then recreate the Foxhound database as follows:
-
Use the
Foxhound Options - Purge sample data
feature to speed up the deletion of old sample data.
Wait until the background purge process has had enough time to increase
the amount of free space to the level you want; for example, from 2% to 75%.
This may take a few hours or even days if you have a lot of data to delete;
watch the amount of free space displayed by the
Foxhound Options - Purge sample data
feature.
Reinstall Foxhound following
these instructions.
This process will create and reload a new Foxhhound database with just the remaining data and much less free space.
