I was experimenting with moving it around in different locations so BOINC Menubar and BOINCManager would recognize it. In the process of trying to delete a symbolic link, I actually deleted all of the data to all of my projects. I just finished setting up all of the projects and merging the computers together.

My question is: is there a way to detach from my old project so the WU can be reused by someone else? As far as my computer is concerned, it\'s never seen BOINC/CPDN/etc. before, so it won\'t let me detach the old model.

Just trying to do my part to help society. Sorry for losing 1.7% worth of a model\'s data! (At least it wasn\'t 20% or even more...)

No worries about abandoned models, it\'s automatic.
When the server hasn\'t heard from a model for about 6 weeks, it assumes that it\'s lost, and flags the dataset for re-issue.
