You have to tell BOINC how much space it\'s allowed to use.
You do this in General preferences on your account page, which can be accessed via the blue menu to the left of here.
After you\'ve altered the setting, go to the Projects tab in BOINC, and click Update.

All files are in various sub-folders of the BOINC folder.

Hi, I have asked similar question in the BOINC message board. I suspect it is a problem with BOINC Manager not being able to actually use more than 1GB of disk due to a program coding problem in the Manager

Actually, when running a pair of Sulphur Cycle Models on P4 boxes, we saw Hard Disk usage in the 6GB neighborhood. (boinc versions 4.* & 5.*)
