I have unused folders in Database and StoreAndForward under System Tags. I don't have a database connection named Historian. I did at one time though. How can I clean this up? Tried restarting the gateway.

Hmm, sounds familiar, thought something like this got fixed early in the 8.1 releases.

I don't think there's anything you can do, it's a bookkeeping bug of some kind. I'll open/re-open an issue...

Thanks. I rebuilt the gateways for now.
