Islandora keeps creates detailed records reports for each batch ingest. 

These reports can be very helpful for debugging and tracking, but they also take up space on your platform.

  • The easiest way to find these reports is to click on Reports.

  • Islandora Batch Queue
  • Note
  • Islandora Batch Sets  (linked from Reports >> Islandora Batch Sets )
  • Image Removed
  • Islandora Batch Queue  (linked from Reports >> Islandora Batch Queue)
  • Not that the first row has SET ID 3.

These reports can be very helpful for debugging and tracking, but they also take up space on your platform.


The easiest way to clean out these files is to use the gui provided on the Islandora Batch Ingest Sets report.

  • First click on the dropdown menu for the row you wish to delete.
  • Although there is an option for Delete set, the most prudent action is to click on View items in set to verify which set you have chosen.

  • Here I have chosen to View items for Set 3 which is the first Set in the Islandora Batch Set Queue report show shown above.
  • This brings up the Set 3 Batch Queue with a link for Delete set.
  • Note that the SET ID 3 is in the only row.
  • Click on the link for Delete set.
  • Islandora gives you one more chance to change your mind.


  • Upon clicking the Confirm Button, you return to the Islandora Batch Ingest Queue page. Note the message about the Deleted item.

  • Returning to the Islandora Batch Ingest Queue from Reports, shows the SET ID numbers in ascending order.
  • SET ID 3 no longer appears in the Islandora Batch Ingest Queue.

  • So this is the entire process for deleting a single Batch Set.
  • Three of them belong to someone else, so I only have 36 to go.
