Unable to delete Job... please clear or delete connected jobs

Dear Cryosparc Team,

since our update to v5.0.6 we are experiencing problems with cleaning up our workspaces or deleting single Jobs. The specific error message is

Unable to delete Job P213 J1027: Cannot delete Job P213-J1027 (3D Classification), please clear or delete connected jobs J1034

However, job1034 has already been deleted. This occurs in all workspaces with random jobs, or at least we have not yet been able to identify a pattern. We would be very grateful if you could help us resolve this issue and remove the specific database entries that are preventing us from deleting our jobs.

Thanks a lot!

Best,

Max

The corresponding job has been deleted a while ago.

Thanks @mruetter . Your observation seems to be a bug in CryoSPARC v5 that affects jobs that where deleted in CryoSPARC versions < 5. We made a node to fix this in a future CryoSPARC release.
