Question: How do I shrink the size of the Foxhound database?

Answer: The easiest way is to purge old sample data and then recreate the Foxhound database as follows:

  • Use the Foxhound Options - Purge sample data feature to speed up the deletion of old sample data.
  • Wait until the background purge process has had enough time to increase the amount of free space to the level you want; for example, from 2% to 75%.

    This may take a few hours or even days if you have a lot of data to delete; watch the amount of free space displayed by the Foxhound Options - Purge sample data feature.

  • Reinstall Foxhound following these instructions.

    This process will create and reload a new Foxhhound database with just the remaining data and much less free space.
