Does rosetta delete its no-longer-needed-files, or this should be a manual operation? I´m asking because i´m fighting a disk spece issue here... How do I know which files are still needed?

It should be kept fairly tidy automagically. I've never deleted any files manually on this machine over the last 18 months or so and it's using 139MB. How much disk space is BOINC using on your machine, and what projects are you running?

BOINC and Rosetta will manage the disk space to live within your configured limits and locate any files that are no longer needed and free them when the configured BOINC space limit approaches.

Having said that, recently with the mini application, it came up that the large resource bundle it downloads is not getting cleaned up. RosettaMini will be revised soon to clean up the older bundles when they are no longer going to be used.

One way to reduce the disk space used by Rosetta would be to increase the runtime preference you define in your Rosetta preferences. Just be careful not to change it suddenly when you have a large existing cache of work on the machine, or that will be requested by BOINC in it's next request. Because the existing tasks will adopt the new runtime preference and you can end up with too much work. Changing it gradually gives BOINC a chance to see that tasks taking longer to complete and make proper estimates for how much work to request.
