We recently upgraded our SonarQube instance to LTS 6.7.6 , and after that we decided to delete one of our larger projects and let it re-scan fresh. It appears that the LOC were not cleared properly during the delete and now we are over our license LOC. We have tried doing a re-scan, but it does not seem to clear the orphaned data.
Any ideas of how I can find and clean this up in the database? Or figure out where the metric is coming from?
Where/how do you see these “orphaned” LOC? Do you remember/have record of your total instance LOC before and after you deleted the project? What happens if you re-delete the project?
Figured this out, The solution was to remove the es5 data folder and let it recreate it. Before I figured this out, I did try to re-delete the project and it would only remove the LOC added the 2nd time not the first time.
The way I saw these orphaned LOC was only in the License plugin section, we have only a few projects so adding up the numbers of lines is easy, and based on that I could tell that when we deleted the big project the first time it didn’t clean it up.
