Topic 197395

Hello,
I have a problem merging on of my computers, namely 10388421 (see http://einsteinathome.org/host/10388421). There is no "Delete this computer" link, only "Merge". I can't merge it - for all hosts there is information, that Host 10220428 has overlapping lifetime: (12 Feb 2014 - 12 Feb 2014), (22 Jan 2014 - 20 Feb 2014) The computer was probably created, when (I don't know how) two instances of BOINC client run on the same Windows machine. I thought this is impossible, to be honest.

Is it possible to delete/merge the machine? I'd like to keep my computer list clean.

kind regards,
Szymon Jaranowski

Deleting / merging computer from "Your computers" list

It should become possible to delete it after the last two tasks have been purged from the database - wait until your tasks pass deadline on 26 February, and then an indefinite further time for the replacements to be issued, crunched, returned and validated.

Both tasks have got wingmates waiting to validate, so they should clear reasonably quickly after they've been re-issued.

OK, everythong works fine -

OK, everythong works fine - the computer is now deleted. I had to wait once more, as wingmate wasn't able to send the result before deadline. Around 2 days after the result was finally validated, the task disapperared and computer could be deleted. Thanks.
