Deleted job still appear in tree view

Troubleshooting
1

i have deleted jobs from the one of my workspace. they are gone from the card view they still appear as “building” in treeview. is there a way of removing them?

Hi @ehanssen,

Is it possible for you to upload a screenshot? In some cases where the results from the now deleted job was used as input in another job, they will appear in the tree view (but marked as deleted). That way it doesn’t break the layout of the tree.

Hi Eric,

Sorry for the delay! Thanks for the screenshot - I see what you mean. I’ve added this to our internal to-do list and will post again when we have a fix!

Thanks,
Suhail

Was this issue ever resolved? I am having a similar problem with some of the jobs in my list even at the end of the the workflow.

I have tried changing the inputs in the job builder list and they are recorded but the job still can’t be deleted, and re-running the job and then re-deleting it, but again the job still can’t be deleted.

Same problem here. The intermediate files got deleted but can’t get a clean tree.

Same here. The tree view shows deleted jobs.

Just adding to this - I’m also seeing this problem. Any ideas guys?

Hi all. In case anyone is still following this thread, I found a (not super elegant) workaround.
I am running v3.2.0+210803.

Recap: The problem is that deleted jobs are not being removed from the tree view, which clutters/confuses workspaces.

Solution:

  1. Make a separate workspace in your project. Call it something like “Trash”.
  2. Select the deleted/ghost job, then use the “Move Job” option to move it to “Trash”.
  3. You can do this for each ghost job (painful, I know, but not bad if you keep up on it).
  4. If you wish, you can always delete the entire “Trash” workspace. Or you can keep it as a graveyard for that project and delete it when the project is finished.

Hope that helps!

@jipsaro workaround is elegant and useful as there is no better option, but still painful and not optimal if you want to clean a large tree/workflow… shall we remember the @team about this? :slight_smile:
