I am getting the following error once every few minutes. The orders.db passes the integrity check. This is on windows with a SATA attached drive.

Can anyone advise what it means and/or how to fix it?

Thank you!

Try removing the oldest (check timestamp) 5 order files from orders/unsent and check your log. These 5 files are for 5 satellites.

@nerdatwork Hey, out of curiosity, would this situation get resolved by itself if no manual action were taken? I.e. do old orders get automatically cleaned up after a while?

It should as per this PR with corrupted order files.
