I have not been knowingly aware that a rainfall event has been deleted when using the "Delete simulation" button. If it is only the rainfall which is lost but not the wastewater files etc this seems to be a fault with the way that "Delete simulation" is implemented. Perhaps it is a bug which has crept in inadvertently. Something to look out for though.
Yes, that is correct. We have had a few instances of users getting mixed up between the different deletion options, and picking this one by mistake, and as I say, this one can cause issues down the line of historic runs being altered and much harder to re-run correctly. Our method for bulk deletion of old, no-longer needed simulation files on our local D-Drives is via the results manager, and while it hasn't happened yet, I am slightly terrified of the prospect of someone accidently picking this "delete simulation" option, and accidently deleting dozens, potentially hundreds of sims in one go, with the deletion being irreversible (without contacting IT to get a drive-backup version of the ICM database - but depending on how long it takes for someone to notice the accidental bulk deletion of sims, this options might not be feasible).
Thanks for the idea. Are you mostly looking to prevent users deleting simulations by accident?
