After re-reading your post, i think the issue may be a bit different. I was cleaning up my dev machine yesterday and noticed over 1k quarantined items, all for database connections that don't exist, but the history providers still did. I managed to clear out the history providers with this post: > [@Remove Historical Tag Providers](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/remove-historical-tag-providers/14426/9): > > The other avenue involves going into the internal database, which is inherently risky. If you’re not comfortable, or not willing to take the risk, then I would suggest contacting support. If you do just want to do it, then: Get a gateway backup. This should always be your first step when doing any significant modification, but especially when directly affecting the internal database. Navigate to the “Status” section of the gateway web interface. Then add sys.internaldb to the path in the URL … However the quarantined items remain, i am not sure if that's the same issue you are experiencing. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/store-and-forward-tag-history-data-issue/58812)._
