Client v8.4.9 : Can you delete old work units from history?

I have changed the GPU in one of my folding rigs, but it has retained all the old data for the previous GPU's and keeps them assigned to the new GPU.
I delinked the machine and re-linked it with a new name, but it still retains all the history with the new name.
I've deleted all the .txt files in /var/log/fah-client. It only lists files going back 3 days, but it still retains ALL history. (Running on Ubuntu)
So instead of lowest PPD being 10m its 481K and goes back 21 days. New card was put in 3 days ago.
Is my only option a complete uninstall of FAH?

Unlink that client, log out of the account from that machine, then from that machine stop your FAHClient, find client.db file on that machine, delete it. Start the FAHClient, log in, link it to the account.
There is a request submitted to add an option to delete manually the history entries.

client.db is located /var/lib/fah-client
Although there are 2 files.
client.db
client.db-journal
Deleting the first file, client.db, didnt work. Still 21 days of history.
Deleting both fixes it. Darn databases and their backups.
Again tnx.

I was looking at the list of different WU's and how I had improved the performance but I thought the avg should of been getting higher.
I refreshed the page and it deleted all the Recent WU's history for the computer...oops
Well the average is much higher now ...

I should point out it is Client v8.5.5

You mess with client.db, you get this outcome.

I was coming back to delete my post.
The wu's had stopped being recorded in history so I closed the browser opened back up and all the history came back...
Yeah!
