Is there a way (from BOINC Mgr) to delete a result in status "Aborted by user" short of resetting the project? I have an aborted CPDN result sitting on my machine, taking up several hundred megabytes of disk space. I have 2 other CPDN results crunching along, and I'd hate to dump them with a reset.

Tks in advance.

No.
You have to manually delete the model's folder.

Set "no new work" for CPDN. In the Work tab, "suspend" one of the currently-running CPDN results. It should then try to run the aborted one, which will cause it to be sent. "Resume" the result you suspended, and all should be well.

EDIT:: Les's right, this will get rid of the _result_, but not the disk space. For that, AFTER you've gotten the result sent, you'll still need to delete the files.

Bill, your recipe worked, with 1 additional step: after suspending result Y, an Update was required to report the Client Error to Oxford and remove the entry for result Z.

Roger on the manual file deletion.

Tks to all.
