(moderation:
Probably off topic but I don't know where else to ask for help.
I'm wondering is someone can delete a w/u that I turned in a few days ago please. It appears to have a date sometime in 2017 and is messing up my statistics graph badly. I installed a fresh m/b about that time and the date/time had not been set up yet when the w/u sneaked thru. Sorry 'bout that!
My computer id is 2483940
Thanks!!!! Dave

I know of no date in the results itself that would be stored on the server. If your local statistics graph is messed up, it must be because of something local to your client. I have to admit that I don't know how this graph is generated. First thing I'd try is to stop BOINC, locate and delete the file "statistics_einstein.phys.uwm.edu.xml" and then start BOINC again.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Thanks for the quick reply. But, if you delete my entire statistics file, won't that mean I will lose all my statical information? I'd much rather keep that historical information even if it means a messed up graph. It would take a long time to accumulate over 390,000 credits again.
Thanks for your help. Dave

Rather than deleting your statistics file, just delete the offending entry, Shut Boinc down, first of all, copy statistics_einstein.phys.uwm.edu.xml some where safe so you can restore it if needed,
then using Notepad select statistics_einstein.phys.uwm.edu.xml and choose edit, then delete the entry with the highest day 'number', for example, here you would delete the whole section in red, then exit and save your change:

You wouldn't lose any credits. The master record for those is held on the project server, so they would show beneath your name here, on your account pages, and on all the external sites dedicated to keeping track of statistics. All you'd lose would be would be the graph that only you can see in the statistics tab of your own BOINC Manager. And that would be back to normal after 30 days.
But as Claggy says, a simple (but careful) edit will restore the graph ro normality much quicker than that.
Sorry 'bout the delay in

Sorry 'bout the delay in getting back to you. It was football night and afterwards I was too blurry-eyed to do anything. So this morning I got up early and once again went looking for the statistics file inside my machine. I found it in \My Computer\ but but could not find it on drive C:. So I suspect it might be inside a hidden folder somewhere. I saved a copy to a DVD-RW and then opened the file on my HD with Notepad. Deleted day 148....... data and now my statistics graph no longer shows the work in 2017.
A big THANK YOU for the help! I would NEVER have been able to figure that out on my own. I will annotate the instructions you sent as well as including the entire pathname where the file resides for future ref when I figure it out.
Have a great day!! Dave
