A few days ago I wanted to delete ALL the entities in the datastore of
a development server I have, to start from scratch.

From Datastore Admin page I selected all entities via the top
checkbox, and then "Delete Entities".

It kicked off a number of tasks to delete them all, but before it
could finish I ran out of quota of Datastore Writes.

I waited another day and tried to delete the pending entities, without
luck.

The Datastore Admin page shows a number of tasks in the "Operations
Status" as being Active.
They have shown like that for 3 or 4 days and don't advance.

I suspect they are not active, but got stuck in that state due to out
of quote error.

Can you please help by telling me how to, or directly:

- restart the pending tasks
- delete them, so I can re-start new ones.

BTW: For developers, and testing, I think a "One click" "Clean the
datastore" button, that does NOT consume quota would be reasonable, I
can't think how an unscrupulous developer would get real work done
misusing that function.

Thanks in advance and Regards

Andrew

afaik, development server do not have any quota. 

and instead of clearing datastore ( unless thats the operation you are testing ) , delete the datastore file directly on development server. 

that will be way easier.

Sorry guys, I now relaize the phrase "development server" is confusing
in appengine context.

I mean "an app ID that I use for development and test purposes", NOT a
local dev server...

Hence the comments about quota, dashboard, admin panel etc...

Still Stuck... Google, any response?

I wanted to delete ~ 350K entities created before pricing change. It took about 1-2 weeks under free quota. But it did complete. You mat want to wait or if you really need it enable billing.
