3 | | * A workunit's input files are deleted when all results are 'over' (reported or timed out) and the workunit is assimilated. |
4 | | * A result's output files are deleted after the workunit is assimilated. The canonical result is handled differently, since its output files may be needed to validate results that are reported after assimilation; hence its files are deleted only when all results are over, and all successful results have been validated. |

8 | | -preserve_wu_files Don't delete input files |
9 | | -preserve_result_files Don't delete output files |
10 | | -retry_errors Retry file deletions that failed previously. |
11 | | -delete_antiques periodically (once per hour) removes any files in the upload/ directory that are older than the oldest WU in the database. These files are created when BOINC clients return work really late after the deadline -- so late that the corresponding WU has been deleted from the database. |

15 | | * Run the file_deleter daemon with the -preserve_wu_files and/or the -preserve_result_files command-line options. |
16 | | * Include <no_delete/> in the <file_info> element for a file in a workunit or result template. This lets you suppress deletion on a file-by-file basis. |
