How to Remove/Delete All Past Hard Drive Records

Post by Mr Hard Drive »

How do I remove/delete all past monitoring history? In other words, I would like to restore my installation(s) to the original settings and clear all data from past drive monitoring history.

If you prefer a completely new / empty installation, then the easiest thing is to uninstall Hard Disk Sentinel and (before re-installation) delete the complete folder where it installed previously ( C:\Program Files (x86)\Hard Disk Sentinel ). This will surely delete all previous settings, statistics, logs, etc. so then you can perform a clean re-install.

If you prefer to only delete the previous monitoring history (but keep the settings, license, etc.) then from the above mentioned folder, please remove

DISKDATA* files (many of them created for all drives ever monitored)
HDSentinel.STA file (a single file with generic statistics about all drives, eg. daily temperature / health etc.)

so then when you start Hard Disk Sentinel again, the previous history / logs of drives will be removed.
