You aren't getting those, instead those are informational messages from the Einstein server to you that those data files are no longer needed and will be deleted from your \projects\einstein.phys.uwm.edu\ directory.

To expand a bit on

To expand a bit on this:

For the S5R6 run, the scheduler tried to send you several tasks that all use the same data files so you would not need to download new data files so frequently. Now that the S5R6 run is over and a new set of tasks is ready to run, the server is actually doing something nice: informing your PC that it can remove some files left over from S5R6 because those will not be used in the foreseeable future on your PC.
