Hi folks, Back in 2018 I saved 26TB of 3d daily `salt`, `temp`, `u` and `v` data from `01deg_jra55v13_iaf` here `/g/data/rr6/cosima/access-om2-01/01deg_jra55v13_iaf` and it’s time to think about whether we still need it. This was from the original 0.1° ACCESS-OM2-01 IAF run, as published in the model release paper ([Kiss et al., 2020](https://doi.org/10.5194/gmd-13-401-2020)) and is now obsolete (if you want 3d daily `salt`, `temp`, `u` and `v` you should use the newer output here instead: `/g/data/cj50/access-om2/raw-output/access-om2-01/01deg_jra55v140_iaf`). If you have a good reason we shouldn’t delete `/g/data/rr6/cosima/access-om2-01/01deg_jra55v13_iaf`, let me know ASAP! ---

Deleting sounds great! What project is rr6? ---

rr6 is a BOM project. The data was originally stored for Bluelink folks but others have also made use of it (though not recently AFAIK) ---

Could it be archived to tape instead of deleted? ---

I’d only bother with that if there was a chance anyone would retrieve it again. No point if it’s a one-way trip. ---

Agreed. massdata is a pain. ---

Did you raise it in a COSIMA meeting? I would raise it there. Perhaps in two different meetings. I’d put an “ultimatum” e.g. something like “this data is going to be deleted on DD-MM-YYYY unless we hear someone having good reasons not to” and allow 2-3 weeks before `rm -rf ...`? ---

It looks like this rr6 data isn’t included in the main database, so it’s unlikely anyone’s using it via the cookbook. ---

3 weeks of deafening silence, so let’s delete it. ---

NCI will change it to NCI-only access and then delete it after a month or so if nobody complains.
