HI,
Can we delete the temporary files created by COMSOL? It is creating temporary files of 10 GB or so which is eating into my Harddisk? Will it create a problem in again opening my COMSOL file and running it?

Rather than delete the cumbersome temporary files, I try to generate fewer, and smaller, ones instead. In the new version (4.2a) of Comsol Multiphysics, the following seems to help quite a bit:
1. Chose "Options", then "Preferences," and then In the "General" tab, de-select "Save Recovery File."
2. De-select "Out-of-core" in the solver settings.
If you do the above, the software generally won't do nearly as much writing and reading to disk. But you may need more RAM.
