Thanks to everyone; here's what I found: the .obf files are not deleted when RDP is closed. They are not deleted when the Admin Tool is closed; nor are they deleted if the machine is rebooted. Bug maybe, but real pain when there is no more disk space and apps begin crashing.
I have a ticket opened with Remedy Support; I'll see what they say. rp On Apr 18, 5:03 pm, "L. J.
