[Opensim-users] Reappearing prims in regions, OS 0.7.2

[Justin Clark-Casey]

To be honest, this sounds like a bug to me.  Deletes should be immediate and wouldn't be affected by persistence times.

When a prim/link set is deleted it is immediately wiped from memory and the database.  If for some reason it goes from 
memory but not the database, then on restart it would reappear (which is consistent with what you're seeing).

When this kind of thing occurs, you might want to try logging in another avatar to see if they can still see the 
"deleted" objects.  And then experiment with deleting single prims or simple linksets (sounds like you might have been 
already).

You might also want to do something like

select count(*) from prims;

in the sql database and see if the number changes (it should if you're deleting prims).

If you can get this down to a simple set of reproducible steps then please file a bug - I'm not aware of an existing one 
for this.
