## Clearing Hidden Events
|

|
||||
When events are deleted, either through deletion events, metadata or
|
||||
follower updates, or a replaceable event kind, the event is not
|
||||
actually removed from the database. Instead, a flag `HIDDEN` is set
|
||||
to true for the event, which excludes it from search results. The
|
||||
original intent was to ensure that subsequent rebroadcasts of the
|
||||
event would be easily detected as having been deleted, and would not
|
||||
need to be stored again. In practice, this decision causes excessive
|
||||
growth of the `tags` table, since all the previous followers are
|
||||
retained for those `HIDDEN` events.

When events are deleted, the event is not actually removed from the

database. Instead, a flag `HIDDEN` is set to true for the event,

which excludes it from search results. High volume replacements from
|
||||
profile or other replaceable events are deleted, not hidden, in the

current version of the relay.

The `event` and especially the `tag` table can be significantly

reduced in size by running these commands:

In the current version, removing hidden events should not result in
|

significant space savings, but it can still be used if there is no

desire to hold on to events that can never be re-broadcast.
