Deploy - Endless Deploy Loop how to force stop/clean queue?

I have an endless deploy loop on a package and is freezing PDQ Deploy and there seems to be no obvious way to force kill and clean the deploy queue.

Is there anyway, or do I have to uninstall central server?

Thanks

Is that package tied to a schedule? Have you tried restarting the Background Service?

It is not tied to a schedule - but I had the package deployed as unlimited tries. I found a global setting in PDQ's configuration that may resolve the issue as it'll timeout and puts the retry at one day.

Ah, you're using the Retry Queue! You can view the global Retry Queue by clicking on this page in the main tree:

Or you can see the Retry Queue for a specific package by clicking on its Retry Queue tab:

The problem is that PDQ freezes and ram usage exceeds 2GB on a Server w/ 16gb RAM and makes it impossible to stop, or delete. :(

I Changed the date on the server to the future to see if it'd force halt and stop after changing the settings.

How many deployments has it created? 2 GB is definitely higher than it should be.
