[ome-users] log files in folder

[Philippe Mailly]

Hi Colin,

This is a very important info about log files in users managed 
repository folder, because we are tempted to delete thees files to 
recover space disk :-)
The zip option will useful since the size of log could exceed 3 Mo.

Cheers,


Philippe

The file contains relevant logging information for the import and it may be useful if there are any problems during import or if post-import some problem is found with the imported image. It’s for this reason that we would not recommend routine deletion.

However, you would need to ascertain the IDs of the OriginalFiles representing the log files using some query. The files should not be deleted via the file system as they are registered in the OMERO database and are linked to their imported images.
