I must have been lucky in which work unit I got. I have a 1.4GhZ processor, and had an estimated run time of almost 7000 hours. With an approximately 11 month deadline (IIRC), that means 9.5+ months running 24x7, but I turn my computer off at night, and leave it off when lightning is predicted, so it would take maybe 14 months and fail the deadline, with no checkpoint restart, the whole thing would be lost.

There didn\'t seem to be any point, so I quiesced the project. But it is still taking 377 MB of disk space. How do I get rid of that?

First off deadlines are a BOINC thing, not a CPDN thing. If a model comes in after the deadline, no one cares. They just want it done. Many have been returned after the deadline.

To clean it up, just delete the Climate directory under your \\BOINC\\PROJECTS directory.
