<p dir="ltr">Hi David, </p>
<p dir="ltr">There is a qdel force delete option you can run as an administrator to help the situation. Check out the -f option in the qdel man page for details. </p>
<p dir="ltr">However, in some cases there may be issues with qdel. Some reported in this list. If you have dependencies, it may complicate deletion, and I found myself restarting machines to clear out deleted jobs, and deleting specific jobs by number one at a time, especially jobs that depend on many others - those should be deleted first. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Hopefully, this will give you some ideas to try. </p>
<p dir="ltr"> Jacob</p>
