The Instrument can only contain a limited number of runs in local storage, depending on the size of the runs. It is also good practice to clean up the G4 local storage once the data has been moved to your off-instrument storage.
If the instrument indicates that storage is getting full, you should also clear up space. You can get two types of warnings:
• If you get a yellow warning, the local storage has enough space for smaller runs, like a 1X50 run. However, if you plan to do a bigger run, such as a 2X150 run, you should delete older data to make space for the current run.
• If you get a red warning, you should delete older data to make space for the current run before proceeding.
Clean up the G4 local storage the following way:
1. Check if the run has been fully moved to your off-instrument storage location.
2. If your run was an indexed run, check if the demultiplexing process has yielded results as expected. If not, follow the instructions described in How Do I Demultiplex Off-instrument?.
3. Click the More Options icon at the end of the line (
).
4. Select Delete.
The Instrument Control Software (ICS) will delete the run data for that run. Log files for the run will be retained for 30 days after the run finished.
