  • Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2020 09:29:26 -0600
Hi Pete,

The data in the data_store directory is called "raw data" and its purge rules 
are located in:
/awips2/edex/data/utility/common_static/base/archiver/purger/RAW_DATA.xml
There is a default rule at the beginning, but it's possible the satellite data 
may already 
be in one of the defined "categories".  You'll have to change the 
"defaultRetentionHours" 
or "selectedRetentionHours" parameters to get the raw data to purge more 
frequently.
You can have it purge as quickly as every hour.

As for the data showing in CAVE.  What's rendered in CAVE comes from the 
/awips2/edex/data/hdf5/ directories and the psql database.  If you deleted the 
files from the
hdf5 directory, it's possible you're still able to load them because they've 
been cached, in 
that case, you'd want to remove your local "caveData" directory, and then you 
should no longer 
be able to load the satellite imagery.

Let me know if this helps.
Thanks.
