Here are the steps I followed to try and purge my hand histories:

In HEM - Options > Observed Hand History Configuration > Purge Hand History Options > Purge Hand Histories

Then I get the message "99114 hand histories were marked for deletion" I hit Yes then OK.

Next in pgAdminIII - Vacuum Analyze/Full
then in pgAdminIII - Vacuum Analyze

Then I defragmented with SmartDefrag and rebooted.

After rebooting I went back into HEM and tried the purge again. I get the same message - "99114 hand histories were marked for deletion".

wtf?

Have a look & see if you've missed a step
I've never tried this myself

When you told it to purge the hands did it instantly tell you it was finished? It is a known issue and in the queue to be fixed in the future.

Yes, it took a while for the message to come up with the number of hands to be deleted but after clicking yes it was instant. Is there any way to clean up my database? HEM is running very slow.

Please try options->purge hands. I think this was one works better.

I was wondering about that. What is the difference between the two?

Its a different options menu for the purge settings and the purge process internally runs a little bit different.
