On the ovirt-engine server, get a psql shell, e.g., psql -d engine -U postgres Data about running tasks are stored in the job table. You might find this query interesting: select * from job order by start_time desc; Grab the job_id for the task you want to delete, then use the DeleteJob procedure, e.g., select DeleteJob('8424f7a9-2a4c-4567-b528-45bbc1c2534f'); Give the web GUI a minute or so to catch up with you. The tasks should be gone. -- Paul Heinlein heinlein(a)madboa.com 45°38' N, 122°6' W
