Question #77897 on Graphite changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/graphite/+question/77897

    Status: Open => Answered

chrismd proposed the following answer:
The graphite browser is basically a filesystem browser rooted in
$GRAPHITE_ROOT/storage/whisper/, so anything you delete under there
should not show up in the graphite browser (but you must refresh the
page if you have already expanded some tree nodes as they are cached).

The only exception to this is if you have put content in
$GRAPHITE_ROOT/storage/rrd/ but this only matters if you actually put
the content their yourself because graphite does not put anything in
that directory by default. It is intended for integrating in your
existing RRD files if you have any.

If you have deleted things from storage/whisper/ and you still see them
showing up in the graphite browser I would double-check that you are in
the right directory, and maybe test this by doing "touch
storage/whisper/test.wsp" and see if a 'test' node appears in your
browser window. If it does not then you are in the wrong directory.

The storage/graphite.db file is only used to store user preferences and
'My Graphs', etc...
