I deleted some alarm tags when they were active, now the alarm journal show them active all the time. Does anybody know how to reset these alarms? ---

Maybe: > [@Can't Clear Changed Alarm](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/cant-clear-changed-alarm/64250/3): > > Ack mode is set to manual, but when the footer is enabled, the Acknowledge button is grayed out. I had a conversation with Support. They suggested I stop the gateway, delete %Install Directory%/data/alarms\_######, then restart the gateway. I’ll try that next weekend and see if it helps. That process worked for me on a similar sounding but slightly different problem. ---
