Clear history from UI

[LucBerge]

The idea is:

I would like a graphical way to clear execution history.

• A button at the top to clear all executions
• A little “x” on each execution to remove one by one

My use case:

I have a lot of executions in the history and am suspecting it to take a lot of disk space. I want an easy way to clean all the executions.

I think it would be beneficial to add this because:

I am not the only one looking for this feature:

Executions history

Hey ! I have a workflow that involves many sub workflows using " Execute Workflow Trigger". When i am debugging, I want to be able to access to specific executions history. in the “workflow executions” panel, i can only access to the ~20 latest executions, is there a way to access to older executions / to store more execution history ? I am currently using [email protected] on n8n cloud instance Thank you for your help !

How to clear Executions?

The system freezes after I update the version. It tries to fetch a history of 600,000 Executions after I click Executions.

Purge execution history

Hi, I have a large execution history and I would like to clean it… Found this but I have no idea of MySQL, pwd, user, etc… https://n8n.io/workflows/700-purge-n8n-execution-history-located-in-mysql/ Where I can find these info ? Thanks for helping.

Any resources to support this?

No

Are you willing to work on this?

No

I was thinking about the same.
Use case:
300+ test executions with RabbitMQ per hour (where I need to keep a bunch of them for a while for testing purposes)

Does this not do it under the All Executions view?

[barn4k]

oh, the first reason to look into the All Execution view

It would be better to do it in Execution tab in workflow editor
