1) Questions and Answers : Wish list : delete phantom work units (Message 19954) Posted 3 Feb 2006 by old_user144719 Post: I\'ve had a lot of problems running Boinc, which seem to have produced inconsistencies in the project status data. On my account, results view, three of the work units shown as \'in progress\' do not exist on my PC - no files/folders with the name, for example, sulphur_j3hh_000890981_0 exist. How can I delete these phantom work units ?
2) Questions and Answers : Wish list : Removing hosts (Message 19950) Posted 3 Feb 2006 by old_user144719 Post: Basically, it\'s not possible at present. The other projects have wus that are complete in hours, whereas here they take months. The removal facility takes account of how long a computer may be needed for completing a wu, as here they may still be processing a model offline for over a year. The ability, or lack of it, to remove unused computers, reflects this long lag time. In this case, the computer has gone away - the wu will never be completed. Removing the host would provide a signal that the wu will have to be reallocated. I had troubles setting up boinc on a new PC, so that PC is now registered three times, as 3 hosts. I was able to remove one of these, but there\'s still a ghost machine..
