I was deleting old snap shots to free up space.  I got this error: 

“The number of orphaned snapshots in the database is 8. Click Optimize Database to fix.”

Where do a find “Optimize Database” so I can fix this issue?

You will use the Tenants (SM203520) form to run a procedure that removes orphaned snapshots.

Hi @dougmcbride79 ! Is this on your Production environment? How long did it take? Also, did you do it off business hours?

 

Thank you!

Yes, the orpan databases were in production.  Eight of them.  I did it off hours.  It took less than an hour.
