Re: [wsjt-devel] Save Directory filling up?

I recommend that you add an item to your monthly housekeeping to do
list (LoTW uploads, QSL cards, dust the shack, click
"Menu->File->Delete all *.wav & *.c2 files in SaveDir", ...). You
could even use the o/s scheduler application to run a script or batch
file to do this automatically.
If you are concerned about SSD wear (personally I wouldn't be) then
you should have a spinning disk on your system as well and you can
direct WSJT-X for save .WAV files in a directory on that.

Bill's idea to use scheduler for cleaning is very good (with windows) .
For Linux the same is user crontab.
Sometimes you might be interested to replay some of decodings. Then best
selection is "save decoded". It makes lot of files but using
scheduler/crontab you can limit this.
I'm using this with linux:
cd ~/.local/share/WSJT-X/save/;eval $(find *.wav -mtime +2 -type f | awk
'{print "/bin/rm -f "$1}')
When running timed via crontab (hourly, could be daily if crontab runs
"missed" jobs when starting up) it will keep today's and 2 days old
files, but delete all older ones.
It can also be used from command line.
I have used SSD with this PC now about 3 years running all kind of
programs including wsjt-x, logging, fldigi, programming etc. SSDs seems
to be rather long-lived. Just remember to do full backups few times a
year and email. documents etc. backup more often. (Same as with all HDs).
In my server PC I use spinning HD because it is running all the time.
SSD is best if you shut down PC daily. Booting up is lot more faster.

Re: [wsjt-devel] Save Directory filling up?
I think Bill's answer is more likelybut you should only see one file for every time you close WSJT-X. But if the virus scanner has the file open for reading when WSJT-X tries to delete it the delete will silently fail.

Are you saying that a virus scanner can cause wsjtx audio files to be saved to my wsjtx save directory? Can you explain that further? I can’t imagine that’s possible. But, then again, I can’t seem to stop it from happening, so there must be some unusual answer. 73 de KT9X, Flip Message: 3 Date: Thu, 13 Dec 2018 14:10:18 + (UTC) From: Black Michael To: WSJT software development Subject: Re: [wsjt-devel] Save Directory filling up?

It is important for diagnosing issues that .WAV files are always saved to disk, for example when they cause a decoder crash. Also it is possible to force the retention of the last saved .WAV file using ALT+V even when "Menu->Save->None" is selected. For all these reasons the way WSJT-X works is that it always writes a .WAV file but deletes it roughly 3/4 of the time through the next T/R period if save "None" is selected, if "Save decoded" is selected and there were decodes, or if ALT+V is hit before deletion is due. Closing down WSJT-X in the first 3/4 of a T/R period will likely cause the last .WAV file not to be saved, and we will not be changing that as the reason for the close down may not be user action and may be due to a software issue that can be diagnosed using the .WAV file. I recommend that you add an item to your monthly housekeeping to do list (LoTW uploads, QSL cards, dust the shack, click "Menu->File->Delete all *.wav & *.c2 files in SaveDir", ...). You could even use the o/s scheduler application to run a script or batch file to do this automatically.
