I am running BOINC/Rosetta on an older machine and I have run up against the inevitable disk space issue. Rosetta is using 3.24 GB of data, but when I look at the actual directory some of the files look like they might be old. My stats show 973 failed tasks. Can I delete any of these files? Is there a cleanup procedure? I'd like to complete any existing work and then pause my activity until I can get set up on a new system. I don't know if it matters, but I don't want to leave any work incomplete.

Thanks in advance!

My stats show 973 failed tasks.

There were issues with the servers the other week, and all work returned failed Validation, even if it was Valid.
It is now working correctly.

Can I delete any of these files? Is there a cleanup procedure? I'd like to complete any existing work and then pause my activity until I can get set up on a new system. I don't know if it matters, but I don't want to leave any work incomplete.

Set No new Tasks and complete and report all current work.
Then Reset the project. That will clear out all of the science application files & support files, and they will be re-downloaded as necessary,
However, don't expect it to free up that much disk space, as many of the files are common between the different applications.



If a lack of disk space is an issue- you'd be better off cleaning out all the files in your Windows/temp folder, and in Windows Explorer, right click on Local DIsk (C:), Properties, down near the bottom right, DIsk cleanup, Cleanup System files (and under the More options tab you can cleanup old System restore images, and/or programmes you don't use).[/quote]

Grant, you are the man. Just resetting the project cleared up several gB. Thank you so much!
