Also, let’s say we’re happy with the new faster storage, cloned all tables etc… How can we delete the “old slow” Default Database? I want to clean up and not waste my storage, but there’s no delete option on the Default DB like we have on the other DBs.
Hi @Neeeco,
You’re right, you can’t delete the Default Database entirely - but you can delete the individual tables from them! That will free you right up.
To state the obvious, take care doing that - make sure you’re deleting the right tables, and that you don’t need the old data any more 
A little wrinkle about your account specifically, as you have Extra Server Resources: If you’re working in an account with ESR and you delete Legacy Storage tables with a lot of data, you’ll see your disk usage hasn’t dropped. This is because Postgres still holds onto the disk space - and with no other Legacy Storage users on that database to use it, that space is now wasted. To reclaim it, you can drop us a line at support@anvil.works and we’ll do a manual compaction to free it up. This doesn’t affect regular users, because regular users are in shared databases that recycle that disk space anyway.

Is the plan to eventually be able to delete the Default DB or is wired into the system for all eternity? 
No effort to delete the tables or at least the content of it though, and when we’ve done that we’ll drop a line to reclaim some of the space. Thanks!
