I tried to delete one kind of entity at once from GAE datastore admin page. The problem is, I fired two jobs for deleting one kind (same kind). After one job successfully finished, another just freeze, preventing other jobs from being run.

The job description is:

Job #158264924762856ED17CF
Elapsed time: 00:00:00
Start time: Tue Nov 20 2012 09:58:27 GMT+0800
entity_kind: "CacheObj"

How can I clear these jobs? Deleting them from task queue won't help much, they are still inside datastore admin page.

I faced the same problem, but the frozen job didn't prevent new jobs to be executed. However, getting a frozen job is misleading. My workaround:

  • Go to the Datastore Viewer
  • Select _AE_DatastoreAdmin_Operation as kind
  • Find the frozen job
  • Delete it
  • You might get an error saying that the app failed
  • Go back to the Datastore Admin, and check that the job is no longer there
