I've just detached from a project (since I realized it's a "alpha test" project), and after checking the AppData\Boinc folder, I still can see 100MB in a directory with the name of that project but with the "symbols"... So, why this? shouldn't boinc remove everything from a project when detaching from it? Regards, Leo ID: 35489 ·

It'll remove all from that project from the BOINC\projects\project_directory\ directory. Symbols however... These get downloaded from the BOINC server when the application or BOINC itself crashes a lot. Which project did you detach from, if I may ask? ID: 35491 ·

BOINC has crashed from time to time... but not boinc manager (well, a few times, when resuming work, coming back from screensaver); but mostly the applications crash from time to time... So, should I get rid from those 100MB manually? BTW, I have other directories with the "symbols" name...??? Regards, Leo ID: 35519 ·

I'll ask the developer about that tonight. ID: 35525 ·
