Memory Saving: too many large files?

[Rafaelsoler13]

Hello,

I am having a problem with pipeline file sizes and memory usage. When the pipeline ends, the folder with all the files is around 600GB for 4 fastq samples of around 25GB. Is that normal? Because I have to run 32 samples, and in total it would take up almost 5TB of disk space.

What files can I delete to reduce the space it takes up? (For example the files contained in the inputs folders). Is there a way in the pipeline to reduce the number of files saved to disk?

Thank you so much,

Rafael
