My current disk space dor climateprediction is 3.37 GB last moth it was 2.28 GB. I did look into the \"g\" button thing and that was not it. Any help would be great. ID: 20870 · Reply Quote

Besides the one you are currently working on, there may be some older ones that either completed successfully, or crashed and left a lot of data. You can remove these older experiment directories from the BOINC directory tree. You can zip them up and burn them to CD/DVD, copy them elsewhere, or delete them if you like. ID: 20890 · Reply Quote

That\'s good to know - Climateprediction currently occupies 3.92GB on my hard drive. BUT - how do I know (recognize) which directories can now be deleted? That is, which are those related to completed or crashed experiments? ID: 21044 · Reply Quote

Make a note of the project work unit which you are currently processing, go into c:\\program files\\boinc\\projects\\climateprediction.net. You should then see a folder for each model which has ever been on your computer. You can delete the ones other than the one you are currently running (be careful at this point).
