I have 4 and 8-way systems whose disks get hogged by CPDN to the mark of 8GB! Having set a limit of only 2GB, these systems won\'t load WUs from any other project due to lack of disk space.

Moreover, even setting their queues to deplete, the directories are not cleared automatically and CPDN files still lurk around taking up disk space, forcing me to delete them manually. Quite cumbersome.

Can the developers please tackle this issue?

Thanks.

I\'m not sure they\'ll tackle it with sulphur, but the new coupled model, which should be coming (one month? two months?) does exactly that. The disk space requirements are much less, and after the model has completed (or errored), it cleans up after itself.

I made a DVD-RAM full of those, afterwards I deleted the Model Directories on the respective Systems.
(which is Optional, technically one could deleted the Model Directories (named after the Model, e.g. \"2qh4_100148913\") right after they are finished and reported)

Hey FalconFly thanks for that advice. I will delete the model folders.
