(moderation:
I have be running Einstein and SETI for many years in the background. I just noticed that under the Disk Tab that Einstein Space size is 356MB and SETI is 5MB.
I never though that large amount data would remain on my computer.
Please tell me how to remove it or transmit it to you.
thank-you

See this thread, more specifically the posts by Gary Roberts, which explain this in quite some detail.

Hi Jerry,
The account you used to post your message has just been created very recently and doesn't show any computers as being registered. I guess that you must have now created a duplicate account, perhaps by using a different name or email address.
If you think this might have happened, you should consider abandoning this current account (it can't actually be deleted) before you run the risk of actually having computers registered under different accounts and your crunching history shared across accounts. If you have forgotten the email address/password combination for your original account, you can always get the 32 character authenticator string from the file 'account_einstein.phys.uwm.edu.xml' which you can find in the BOINC data folder of any of your computers that are attached to the project. You can open the file with a text editor like Notepad in order to take a copy of the 32 character string and then paste that string into a login screen so you can login to the project with your correct details. Once logged in, you can go to your account page and click the link to update your email address/password details if necessary.
Cheers,
Gary.
I didn't fully understand

I didn't fully understand your message but I first went ahead and reset the project but it still left 120MB so I then detached it from the computer. I don't think I will run Einstein again.
Thanks for your help

You're welcome. Sorry that my suggestions weren't clearer for you.
Good luck with your future endeavours.
Cheers,

An ORCA-alpha WU from QMC@home is actually occupying 1.66 GB on my disk, with 1.6 taken by temporary files in a slot. But that is about only one hundredth of my first disk, with a second 160 GB disk still empty. So it does not bother me.
