I noticed that Xwinnmr (1.1) processing data directories are often very
voluminous due to redundant files that are saved along with 2rr. I know that I
can save space by deleting imaginary data but still there are some files which
are quite big, i.e. dsp, dsp_low (ca. 2/3 of spectrum). (Of course, I am not
going to delete the parameter files, also the "meta" file seems to be too
important).
I tried to delete the "dsp" and "dsp_low" files and everything seemed to work
OK. It seems that they are just reconstructed as one displays the spectrum
again. So, in my opinion, what can happen is that you cannot view the spectrum
again when disk space is tight but I think that this is a minor problem
(especially when compressing the spectra to archive them). Is there anything
else that can happen ?
Also I think that sometimes printer metafiles are kept in the processing
directories. Could someone please tell me their names so that I can remove
them.
I am not sure about the files: n2r1, n2r2, p2r2, p2r1. I think they have to do
with projections. Can I remove them without loosing unrecoverable information ?
Anyway, they are not so big as the dsp files !
Can there also be other redundant data (e.g. in the acquisition directory) ?
What about 1D or 3D data, the same ?
I beleive, also that the data sets "proc, proc2...", "acqu,acqu2" are redundant
(at least for archiving) since the actual processing/acquisition parameters are
kept in procs,proc2s/acqus,acqu2s. (they are not big compared to 2D data, but
with 1D data they are)
I would very much appreciate if someone could answer these questions or else
share other archiving experience with me.
Thank you
