Admin console maxing quota on Delete Admin

[GAE user]

I have a simple Entity:

RefLocations,2,545,2 KBytes,6 MBytes

Every attempt to delete it results in my DS read or write quota maxing out and (subsequently failing). I've tried both the Admin console and the remote server method, with failures for the past 4 days.

I'll be very happy to pay for quota when I can get the app working, but this does not inspire confident in GAE's quota mgmt system. Deleting 2.5k records should not put me over.

Deleting 2.5k records can easily put you over the free quota if you have a few indexed properties and custom indexes.

From https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/billing you can see that each entity delete consumes:

2 Writes + 2 Writes per indexed property value + 1 Write per composite index value

It's likely you'll need to batch the deletes over a couple of days to successfully delete them.

Cheers,
