BaseSpace Sequence Hub stores data for sequencing runs, samples, projects, and analyses. You can manage the data in your account and save space by deleting files that you no longer need.
The process to delete data requires two steps: move the data to trash, and then empty the trash. You can restore files that have been moved to trash.
Moving items to the trash, especially items with large amounts of data (eg, projects), can take time. The 'Trash Status' column indicates the percentage of data that has been moved into the trash. Once the status is 'Complete', the item can then be deleted by emptying the trash, or restored back to your account.
Select the Runs tab, and then one or more runs to delete.
Select Move to Trash.
Select the run file types to delete.
Data files only: this option moves run files to reduce your data storage but keeps a record of the run.
Data files and the run record: this option moves everything associated with a run including the record of it.
All run related files: this moves the run files, run record, and all downstream analysis results (eg, FASTQ files).
