Hi,

I'm running a lot of database searches on a large number of mzXML
files. Because of this, I need to conserve space on my computer. My
understanding of the software is that "Database Search" generates a
folder of out/dta files, which is converted to a PepXML file. The
PepXML file is then used in "Analyze Peptides" to generate probability
scores for matches.

My question is: Is there any reason why I would want to save the
folders of out/dta files? It seems like the only thing these folders
are used for is generating PepXML files, and having the PepXML files
is all I need.

I would like to delete the folders of out/dtas to save space on my
computer. But if there is some reason I should save them (something
they could be used for later on), please let me know.



Also, I noticed that if you run a large number of mzXML files in
"Database search", the search usually freezes after it gets to about
2.5 million lines of output (I believe). So, I've been running the
commands in command line. Please let me know, if you see any problem
with this.

Thanks,
Kris
