Weights & Biases (wandb) is a powerful tool designed to help machine learning practitioners track and visualize their experiments. It provides a seamless interface for logging metrics, visualizing model performance, and collaborating with team members. By integrating wandb into your machine learning workflow, you can ensure that your experiments are reproducible and easily shareable.
While using wandb, you might encounter the error message: wandb: ERROR Failed to delete run. This error typically appears when you attempt to delete a run from the wandb interface or through the API, but the operation fails to complete successfully.
The error "Failed to delete run" can arise due to several reasons. The most common causes include:
Ensure that you have the appropriate permissions to delete the run. If you are part of a team, check with the team administrator to confirm your access level. You can refer to the wandb permissions guide for more information on managing access rights.
Network connectivity issues can also lead to this error. Ensure that your internet connection is stable and that there are no firewall settings blocking the request. You can test your network connection by visiting Speedtest to check for any anomalies.
To resolve the "Failed to delete run" error, follow these steps:
If the issue persists, try using the wandb API to delete the run:
import wandb
api = wandb.Api()
run = api.run("//")
run.delete()
Replace <entity>, <project>, and <run_id> with the appropriate values for your run.
By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the "Failed to delete run" error in wandb. Always ensure you have the necessary permissions and a stable network connection when performing operations on wandb.
