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.
