Hello, <div><br></div><div>I am a PhD student of Florida Institute of Technology. I work on AIPS for my research work.</div><div>I have a question about the files that are generated (as a byproduct?) when I run any task in AIPS.</div>
<div>I see many weird named files created on my disk (not in AIPS), their names look like - e.g. NXD00Q001.10A, FQD00Q001.10A, WXD00Q001.10A, etc...</div><div>What are these files exactly? What is the their purpose and do I need to keep them on disk or is it OK to delete them? </div>
<div>Recently I was trying to delete the files which I don't need from AIPS and then re-catalog the files leftover files in AIPS. but because of the presence of these weird files on my computer disk I was unable to re-catalog the files, apparently there was some conflict of names.</div>
<div><br></div><div>What do I do in this case? Can I delete these files altogether? These files take up a lot of space on my disk too, so I am really concerned about it.</div><div>Please help.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you, <br clear="all">
