Hi there,

I am having an issue with the Power Chart, I deleted a bunch of tags and folders, however even after rebooting Ignition those tags still exist on there. They have historian setup on them. Any idea what I need to do?

You might need to delete those ids in question from sqlth\_te.

Would that be the only place I need to delete them from?

You'll need to delete all records for the _tagpaths_ that you deleted, from the **sqlth\_te** table. Of course this won't delete the history that was recorded for these tags within the partioned data tables, and without their records in the sqlth\_te you will completely lose the ability to retrieve this (which is likely not an issue considering you've deleted the tags themselves)

Once you do this, you might also need to restart the tag historian module to update the cache in Ignition, although i'm not 100% on this part
