After the project was finished I noticed that there are 365 files with over 300 MB left on my harddisk.
The map with those files is BOINC\\projects\\climateprediction.net\\2z6z_200160324
Can I remove this map without problems?

Are ther any other files I need to update or delete as well?

Apart from archiving for the reasons given in the "CP Data Retention" thread, having the archives of one's previously completed models may occasionally help in other ways.

Having a personal archive of my 17 completed BOINC runs (and numerous Classic ones as well) on my hard drive went some way in helping the administrators to sort out broken links in the database between completed runs and machines that had done them a few days ago.
