Hello, I work for a clinic in which orthanc is installed, but I was not given any indication about it, I see that it creates a folder under its own name where inside there are more folders with hexadecimal names, I wanted to know if These folders can be optimized in some way because they weigh more than the images, thanks

Hello,

This is explained in the Orthanc Book: How does Orthanc store its database? — Orthanc Book documentation

Kind Regards,

hello,
and it is possible to delete it in some way or reduce its size, since it currently weighs 1tb and the images 200gb

Sorry for the questions, I’m new and I didn’t install the software

Hi,

This is weird that there is such a big difference in size !

You should first compare the disk usage reported by http://localhost:8042/statistics and the size of the folder reported by your operating system.

If the difference is large, this means that there are some garbage files from previous installations remaining there.

HTH,

Alain.

What a shame to be so annoying, how can I remove these junk files? Or maybe someone can give me more personal advice because I have many doubts about the program

Hello,

I would suggest you to try running the SQLite VACUUM command on the SQLite database of Orthanc (obviously after having stopped Orthanc): sql - How to VACUUM INTO in sqlite? - Stack Overflow
