Found this one: https://groups.google.com/g/sessionbuddy-discuss/c/XK4SsG7f8Ts/m/-aB7HKC_AwAJ

But I can't find the right folder to run the command line from. I think the saved previous sessions are slowing down my computer (maybe?)

1) is there a faster and easier way to delete all previous sessions that I haven't intentionally saved?
2) Can I set a limit for how many sessions are recorded under "previous sessions" (If the limit is  300, then that feels excessive)

Thanks in advance!

Never mind. I just found out that you can highlight multiple sessions by using "SHIFT + click" then delete them with the delete key.

It would still be nice to be able to set a limit to how many previous sessions get saved. Or automatically delete ones that are more than 30 days old.

Hi!

I'm the one who wrote post in your link. :)


If deleting from SB works for you - great.

But check if after deletion database file actually shrinks.

I bet it just marks that space as free but doesn't shrink the file.

OK, new records will reuse the space but still ...


You can also put that sqlite command in a script and run it in a schedule.
