# How to remove all the Transactions associated with a Printer.

### Problem:

How to remove all the Transactions associated with a Printer and resource usages.

---

### Cause:

Resource usages are not removed along with transactions. They need to be purged manually.

### Solution:

This can be done using SQL Query Analyzer, by running the commands listed below:

----------------------------------

use pharos

```plaintext
select * from resource_usages
```

update resource_usages

```plaintext
set num_jobs = '0'
where ref_id = 'ID OF THE PRINTER'
```

update resource_usages

```plaintext
set num_units = '0'
where ref_id = 'ID OF THE PRINTER'
```

update resource_usages

```plaintext
set num_sheets = '0'
where ref_id = 'ID OF THE PRINTER'
```

----------------------------------

As an alternative to ref_id, you can use ref_type.

(where ref_type = 'P') - this will remove all resource usage records for all the printers.
