Dear users,

I have used gromacs a while, however, sometime, when I run it on
supercomputer-clusters, I saw mdrun will generate a lot of files with "#",
which occupied a lot of space, does anyone know why and how to avoid it?

Thanks

example, my command"mdrun_mpi -s -deffnm job -cpi -append"

then besides ordinary md result files,  it will also generate things like:

#job.xtc.1#   #job.xvg.1#  job


These are backups of previous runs that have been issued with the same command. All Gromacs commands have this behavior - rather than overwriting your files, it backs them up. Either clean up your directories prior to issuing your commands, or use unique file names or directories.
