[Rt-devel] Deleting a ticket, should this work?

[Alex Meyer]

I got this little code snippet out of the RT Essentials book.

perl -I/opt/rt3/lib -MRT -e'
         RT::LoadConfig(); RT::Init();
         my $t = RT::Transaction->new($RT::SystemUser);
         $t->Load(ticket#_goes_here);
         print $t->Delete;
         '

It doesn't really seem to do anything though. Maybe once upon a time  
it worked, but not now. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix it? I'd  
really like to be able to delete our spam from the spam queue  
COMPLETELY because our MySQL db is already over 2 gigs.

I should add that i don't get an error when running the above, it  
says 1 objected deleted but when I check the web interface and the  
mysql db the entry is still there.

Thanks,
Alex
