I'm using BOINC 4.19 - my first successful model result was uploaded to CP.net a few days ago. :)

I noticed that the large model result zip files that were uploaded to CP.net were not deleted from my machine after the upload.

I'm just wondering when it's safe to delete these files. Right now they are taking up over 550 megabytes on my drive.

Thanks!

Only a small set of files get uploaded.
The bulk of the data is stored on your computer, in case the scientists get excited about your model and want
to see the full set. If it's a problem, please try and save them somehow. cd /dvd etc. If they get deleted,
the model has to be rerun. These files were mentioned somewhere in the docs, but I can't see it at the moment.
