  I have noticed that CFX is generating tons of gigabites in files in the .cfx folder.
  Is there any risk from removing them?
  When and why are they generated?

  Hello,
  Is this only related to a specific model? Can you do a test case and see if such large files are being written out in the .cfx folder? What model you are running on CFX?

  I do not know if this is related to a specific model. this is created in the Folder User\Documents\.cfx, not in the folder of any specific model. I cannot reproduce the generation. I simulate everyday, but not everyday they are created. The last one was created some weeks ago. I cannot know what happened or did back then.
  Im running just linear CFD with rather complex geometries.
