Its done 11½ hours

How must space do I need availible on my hard drive to cluster 5.000k hands?

In Beta 24 you need twice as much free space as the size of your database. If you only have one database, check the size of your C:\Program Files\PostgreSQL\ directory, and you'd need twice that free.

This is why a lot of people who datamine have separate datamining databases and create new ones every couple of months, that way they don't get nearly that large.

Ok thanks for the answer.

I started to import and then cluster on a different computer with more space availible. Now I need to delete the same hands on my laptop. Is this correct, so I only delete the hands I datamined and still keep my own played hands:
Database -> Purge -> Advanced -> Observed only (with my name), only pokerstars -> Purge sessions

That should work.

For a large database, expect it to take a while to complete, so do be patient.

I started the purging and it has calculated the estimated time: 1807:39:58 ~ 75 days.

Is it possible to extract the sessions I played (maybe by a seperate postgresql function, a search for my username in the hands historys) and then remove PT3 and postgresql for a clean start. The alternativ is unfortunaly to remove pt3, for a reinstall and then lose all my played sessions.

If you're comfortable running queries from the command line, you can find the query to pull hand histories out of the database directly in this thread.

I will look into it thx
