I have 15 folders taking approximately 6.62 GB of space. The file names hadcm30hc_29pw_05654267 and hadcm3ohc_1777_05604346 are running. All the rest appear to be older work units that have failed. I checked my reported work units on line and found most terminate due to client error. A couple are still running, according to the table listing, though are not. Credit is given, trickle up data I assume. Two questions. First, can I safely delete the remaining 13 folders and recover approximately 6 GB of storage? My fourth hard drive is just about full. Second question concerns the client error messages on line. What is causing this, how do I fix it if it\'s a problem, and where can I find infomation on these issues?

I did check the on line message boards and found a lot of information on failed work units, moving to other systems, etc., but nothing specific on how to identify what can be removed. I noted several instances where the response from CPDN is that the system cleans itself up. I\'m thinking this is not the case here. Is it safe to remove the 13 foldes?

Thanks in advance, I try to not post often and resolve such things myself, however, I am pressed for time. This machine is left unattended 24/7 for weeks at a time so hiccups last a long time before I can get to them.

Yes, you can manually delete all of the folders of failed models.
The automatic cleanup is only for completed models. When they fail, they don\'t reach the part of the program that does it for you.

There are 4 README files here with notes, or links to notes, containing hints, tips, and suggestions for many things, all intended to help people keep their models alive.

We don\'t mind in the least if people post lots of times asking for help.

One possibility for your crashes:
Your computer is listed as having: 502.73 MB
This tends to indicate that you don\'t have a separate graphics card, but a few \'onboard\' graphics chips for the display.
These use some of the system memory for the display, and if, for instance, the display changes from text to graphics, (e.g. starting a game, video processing, etc), then the sudden lose of memory from system use may cause the program to crash. Another example is enlarging the globe display to full screen size, which has crashed the model for some people.

If you need more help, please ask again. There\'s always someone scanning the boards.

OKAY,

Thanks for the information and link. The on-board graphics is all I\'ve been using it is a very basic setup. I have a decent graphics card and will upgrade the machine when I get back home in a couple of weeks and it will include a bigger hard drive. The system runs dual processes splitting the RAM so I\'m not surprised I probably should get a couple more memroy sticks while I\'m at it. This system is past due a little attention and care.

Thanks again, and I\'ll watch it a little closer now that my work and other personal obligation will allow the time. I\'m tired, broken, onery, getting older every day. Well, maybe not all that, but definitely due for some changes.
