ShareGate Migrate maintains a history of all your completed tasks. Over time, the reports and results take up space on your hard drive. It is good practice to delete the records that are no longer needed.
Note: Deleting a task is permanent. You cannot recover the records once you have completed the action. For information on saving records to your workstation, see Export tasks.
Deleting a task from the Tasks tab does not remove SDB files from the ShareGate app data folder on your system.
An SDB file can contain data from multiple tasks, and ShareGate Migrate does not delete them automatically when individual tasks are removed from the app. To free up disk space, use the ShareGate Migrate interface to delete task history, unused scheduled tasks, unused custom reports, and the cache.
Deleting folders directly from the AppData installation directory is a last resort and should be used only when no other approach works.
Available space
On the top left of the Tasks screen, you can see how many megabytes (MB) the app is using and how much space you still have available.
How-to
Select Tasks from the menu.
Add a check mark in the box to the left of the task(s) you want to delete. To select all tasks on a page, add a checkmark in the box to the left of the Task column.
Click the Delete trash icon.
In the Delete task pop-up, click Delete.
The task will now be gone from the Tasks screen and your work history.
Tip: You can only delete the tasks currently displayed on the Tasks screen. If you have many tasks to delete, set Items per page to 500 to delete more at once.
Use filters
Some tasks take up more space than others. For example, Migration reports can take up much space when you perform large migration projects. You can use filters to specify what tasks you want to delete.
Select Tasks from the menu.
Click Add filter to display a dropdown menu.
Select the filter type you want to apply. For example, to filter for Migration reports, select Task type.
Add your filter specifics. For example, to filter for all Migration reports, select each green task type.
Click Apply filter.
Repeat steps (2) to (5) to add multiple filters. To clear a filter, click the "X" icon.
Add a check mark in the box to the left of the task(s) you want to delete. To select all tasks on a page, add a checkmark in the box to the left of the Task column.
Click the Delete trash icon.
In the Delete task pop-up, click Delete.
The task will now be gone from the Tasks screen and your work history.
