[Anthill-pro] How to remove build history

[Eric Minick]

Remon,

There's no way to do this automatically through the UI. Support for 
rules to do the cleanup will be present in Anthill3, but for various 
reasons I don't think that will make it to Pro. If you are feeling 
daring and using file based persistence, you could strip the history out 
of the project files by hand, but I can't reccommend it.

If you want to go that route you would:
1) Click into the build tracks you are interested in, recording the 
numbers in their URLs
2) Shut Down Anthill Pro
3) Backup your conf directory.
4) Open the build track registry files corresponding to the numbers you 
recorded. Each file will have configuration information up top and then 
a numbered, ordered list of build histories. Delete any build histories 
you no longer have interest in. Do not leave only part of a history 
item, either delete an item entirely or not at all. There is no need to 
renumber anything.
