Topic 188416

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there is a way to delete a specific work unit and/or prevent it from running?

The one I'm questionning is 455081. Looking at the results already received, 3 comps have responded, and been granted credit, although the WU is still in my que. If there is a way to delete it, I wouldn't be wasting my computer's time running it, and could start another WU. Looks like it will be running next - approx 20min - so if anyone out there has any ideas, I'd sure apprecite it.

Thanks!

Deleting Work Units

You can abort Work Units when using BOINC CC 4.25.
Do know that it is best if you uninstall your old BOINC version prior to installing this version, no harm should come to any projects you are crunching or the work-units still in progress.

In 4.25, go to your Work tab, click on the unit you don't want to run, then on the left pane click Abort result. That will immediately delete the unit.
