Cleaning Up Your Database

To avoid wasting space in the encyclopedia, remove unusable models from your database by running a routine cleanup procedure. It may be a good idea to schedule a nightly (or off-hours) cleanup.

Unusable models may be left in the encyclopedia from unsuccessful procedures, including:

• Unsuccessful copy model operations
• Unsuccessful create model from subset operations
• Unsuccessful upload new model operations

For example, if you run out of space while creating a model, data associated with the model remains in the tables until you perform a cleanup.
