The disk of the DAS is large enough to store at least the results of 500 incubation runs. If the disk usage becomes too high, a warning like below will be shown. If the disk usage is higher than 90%, no incubation run can be performed anymore.
To avoid high disk usage, DAS can automatically remove old test result. By default, tests older than 365 days are automatically removed. The period is set by the variable “Test deleted after Nr days” from the Setup page.
It is also possible to manually remove files. The generated files by the DAS are by default “read only” and therefore the files cannot unintendedly be deleted from the File page (Recommended) or from Windows File Explorer (only with DSM advice). See also: 'How can I access stored data in the DAS?'.
To enable the possibility to delete the files, they need to be unlocked from the 'setup' page. When the button “unlock files” is pressed, all generated files by the DAS are unlocked and can be deleted. When the button “lock files” is pressed, the files are locked again and cannot be deleted anymore. Also, when the browser is opened, all files are locked.
