What is the Database Clean-up tool used for in PlayIt Live?

The Database Clean-up tool removes old data from your PlayIt Live database to help manage storage space and improve performance. This tool can delete historical playout log items, old voice track recordings, and orphaned audio store files that are no longer referenced by the database.

When you run the clean-up, you can specify how far back to keep playout log items and voice tracks. For example, you might choose to keep only the last 30 days of playout history whilst removing older entries. Orphaned audio store files refer to files that exist in your voice track recordings folder or audio store folder but are no longer linked to any tracks or voice track items in the database. The tool will identify these files and can remove them to free up disk space.

Before performing the clean-up, PlayIt Live offers a "Dry Run" option that shows you what would be deleted without actually removing anything. This lets you preview the changes and ensure you're comfortable with what will be removed before proceeding with the actual clean-up.

You can access the Database Clean-up tool via Tools > Database Clean-up from the main menu.
