## Cleaning the database
The Home Assistant database can get huge!
The Home Assistant database can become very large. Follow these steps to reduce the size of the database.
Luckily, there is a tool you can use to [purge the contents of the database](/integrations/recorder/#service-purge)
You can [filter](/integrations/recorder/#configure-filter) what you send to
the database, and even change how long it stores the data
[with the `purge_keep_days` setting](/integrations/recorder/#purge_keep_days)
1. To view the size of the current database, go to {% my system_health title="**Settings** > **System** > **Repairs**" %}.
- Select the three dots {% icon "mdi:dots-vertical" %} menu and select **System information**.
- Scroll down to the **Recorder**, and check the **Estimated database size (MiB)**.
2. [Purge the contents of the database](/integrations/recorder/#service-purge).
3. To slow down the growth of the database, [filter](/integrations/recorder/#configure-filter) what you send to
the database.
4. Change how long it stores the data, using the [`purge_keep_days` setting](/integrations/recorder/#purge_keep_days).
