Why is this project asking for more room on my Disk? The computer is set to give BOINC over 20GB but the project is asking for 500MB and reports I have 0MB! What is going on?

Sometimes the BOINC installation has been done to a 'shared' folder in which there's not only BOINC data. The client counts everything in there including sub-folders.
----------------------------------------Default on Windows the directory is something like C:\ProgramData\BOINC [With a service install it is for sure]. At any rate, the path where your client data is, is printed at start of the event log after a boot. Follow that path in the file explorer, right click on the BOINC folder and hit properties. That will tell how much is actually in the data structure. Edit: In BOINC Manager, Advanced view, there's also the Disk tab. It tells how much each project, and BOINC in total thinks is being used. My WCG project folder indicates 438MB with a 1 day cache and 8 jobs running. [Edit 1 times, last edit by Former Member at Jun 25, 2015 9:52:06 AM] |

See thread below, maybe relevant?
----------------------------------------In program data\boinc\slots\slotnumber either there were extra slot folders created and/or some of the folders had huge files in them that could be deleted. In my case. back then I saw it on a couple of my machines, deleted the files and all was good... https://secure.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread_thread,37993  |

Upcoming v7.6 should take care of that, better slot file cleaning [those VM files too].

The Computer has 23.00 GB for BOINC to use and only two items WCG and Seti. Currently WCG is using just 300MB and Seti is using just 43 MB

Follow the path where the BOINC data dir is [printed in Event log after a startup]. Something is using 80GB
USED BY OTHER PROGRAMS = 80.67 GB As noted before, the BOINC data dir should be exclusive. This reads like it's being shared by much more. A quick workaround is until you've figured it out is to set BOINC to allow use of say 90GB. |
