I have just noticed one thing. BIONIC does NOT clean disk after completing computation of a unit. "Orphan" files cumulate, currently consuming more than 1GB of my disk space. Is it OK do erase these files? How to avoid this problem in future? Thanx for comments.

The CPDN project only uploads a small portion of the result, the rest is stored on disk for later examination. You can safely delete these directories. The code that would pull/delete them automatically has not been implemented yet.

Thanx a lot. Because I am "very" low on disk space I will become a "deleter". At least until I get bigger disk.
