games and stats "memory" or size of my account gets too big

Post by johnbark10 » Fri Feb 07, 2014 8:38 am

is there a way to delete a month's worth of games without removing the stats from those games and then doing another months worth of games and have those stats combined and added into the previous months stats? I ask because when I do 324 games in a year my "memory" or size of my account is rather large...I was told to delete the games that would help...well if I can do a months worth of games and then delete them but keep the stats then I won't have an issue...thoughts?

generally speaking Iscore is not that data intensive. I can not find the post at the moment on the size. suspect support will weigh in.

but no, delete the games you loose the stats, that is how they are created. game action drives the stats.
you could create a dummy month game and manually type in "over ride the stats" but suspect way more work then value

probably only real practical way to off load and retain.. is to send data in spreadsheet and use excel for archive

Each games is about 200KB... so if you are doing 300 games, that is about 60MB of data. The device itself would have no trouble holding all the games. The issue you may be referring to is the time it takes to Export. As your database gets larger, the Export will take longer to complete.

There is not a way to delete groups of games at once, only individual games. This is not likely going to be changed as allowing mass deletions also allows mass headaches when people do it by mistake. We intentionally want people to think before deleting data. Even though we give several warnings about deletion of data, we still get people telling us they "accidentally deleted a game, how can I get it back" even though we make it very difficult to "accidentally" delete them.

Once you do delete them, in order to recover the memory associated with them, you actually need to do an Export, then run the Optimize from the Maintenance tab on the Admin Website, then Import back to your device. Otherwise the games are just "flagged" as deleted, but still take up the space in the database on your device.
