Total Stored Data usage stays after removing all entities

[Peer Gynt]

Hello,

I wonder if the entities are actually removed, when I delete them?

I have deleted all entities of all kinds in my GAE application, however the usage of the datastore (including blobstore) did not decrease. It stays the same, as if I didn't delete anything (~200MB). Is there any reliable method of an actual removing all the data stored?

How long ago did you delete the data?  I believe that all deletes are initially "soft" deletes, which are subsequently "hard" deleted at some point later in time.  Once they've been "hard" deleted, the storage is then released.

In my experience this can take 24hrs to be reflected in the datastore statistics.

A week has already passed :(

OK, it's empty now. It took 1.5 weeks to reset the usage indicator. Thanks!
