Shortly after starting number crunching for Climate Predictions I suspended CP to finish off another project, the result was that I ended up with two more WUs as I did not realize I should have selected the Get No More WUs. Aborting these new WUs resulted in one disappearing from the BOINC Tasks tab, but, the other is still there and won\'t go away.

Searching in my BOINC Program folder I see I have a folder named hadcm3lbm_4dlp_05160394 which was an aborted WU which is no longer displayed, can I safely remove this 284 MB folder?

There is no folder for WU hadcm3lbm_3x0l_05138898 which is one which has been aborted, but, still displays, however, I do have this WU as a zip folder hadcm3lbm_3x0l_05138898.zip. Can I safely delete this and will this WU stop displaying in my BOINC manager?

Are there any other files I could delete such as the hadcm3lbm_4dlp_05160394.xml relating to an aborted WU?

It\'s okay to delete files for anything not active if you choose to do so. Careful in there, though...

Don\'t count on the orphan dropping from the boinc listing, though. A friend has such a case on one of her machines and I\'ve not found a way to convince the thing to go away...

Well everything seems stable after deleting those files (I moved them first to make sure). You\'re right though, the orphan WU will not delete from the boinc listing. Strange how the other aborted WU did, but, not this one.

Thanks

Precisely the same situation as on my friend\'s machine. One wonders whether boinc can handle one deletion okay but chokes on a second...
