DSDPlus Can you delete CC.log and 1r.log.txt files periodically?

[shajoe44]

Is it ok to delete the cc.log and 1r.log text files periodically since they get rather large. Wasn't sure if information in these 2 files were needed or not. Thanks

 

[slicerwizard]

Sure. I do it about once a week.

 

[shajoe44]

Thanks I didn't think it was going to hurt anything.

If you do not need for the log file for the moment, you could just remove the option in the batch file (command line) which will stop it's creation.

>>filename.log

Alternatively you could use this option:

>filename.log

Which will overwrite an existing file with empty one and save log data for each session. (not append like the >> option)
This will keep the file smaller. NOTE: If you run a session for weeks at a time then it will still grow large.

You could also add the following to your batch file if these files are also not needed by you:

del filename.event
del filename.srt

This will delete these two files which can grow to large sizes.
Replace 'filename' with real names of file.

You can also control how much gets written using the -v (0-4) verbosity option - default is 3

Adding onto the question, Is it ok to delete 1R-DSDPlus.wav? The file is nearing 3 gigabytes now.

if you have never used it for anything, you are letting the program create a massive file for nothing. If you are using it for manual offline decoding or something else that's different.

-O NUL  <<-- disables wav/mp3 file creation

if you are looking for per call file recording (which is what I presume most people want)

-PTmp3  <<----creates per call mp3, tagged by TGID in subfolders by day.
