From the CPDN message board:
WaH v8.29 bug leaves files behind in BOINC/data/projects/climateprediction -- please delete by hand
A bug has been found in the latest v8.29 Weather@Home app currently running EAS25 batches as app-name wah2_ri.
When the task finishes it mistakenly leaves some text files behind in the task directory inside the BOINC/data/projects/climateprediction.net directory.
[By default C:\Program Data\BOINC\Projects\climateprediction.net on Windows machines, where C:\Program Data\ is by default a hidden folder.]
Task directories have long names such as 'wah2_eas25_a3pf_200912_24_1007_012269659'.
This is the same as the task 'Name' column in boincmgr.
When a task finishes, it should delete the task directory (e.g. wah2_eas25_a3pf_200912_24_1007_012269659) in the projects/climateprediction.net folder, but unfortunately it leaves behind the 3 text files:
stdout_mon.txt
stdout_rm.txt
stdout_um.txt
Task directories with only these 3 files can be safely deleted.
DO NOT delete task directories which also contain 'datain', 'dataout', 'jobs' and any other files.
These indicate running tasks.
Also do not delete the entire 'climateprediction.net' directory as this will kill all running tasks.
Apologies for the inconvenience.
The bug has been identified and corrected. A new version will be issued before any more batches are released.

climateprediction.net: BOINC Needs Votes at a UN Upcoming Forum
BOINC is a finalist for an notable award, and needs your vote (*by Sunday)
The World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) (https://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/forum/2024 ) is a United Nations-sponsored initiative aimed at harnessing the potential of information and communication technologies to build inclusive and equitable information societies worldwide. BOINC has been nominated for a prize at the 2024 forum (https://www.itu.int/net4/wsis/stocktaking/Prizes/2024 ), and has passed initial hurdles; the next and last step ("Phase 3") requires public votes. The award would be a very nice boost and validation for BOINC and all our projects; if we can get our communities to vote, we should have a decent shot at this point...
Voting is pretty simple, takes just a few minutes; instructions are here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1x9X ... xvrXg/edit .
(*The deadline for votes is Sunday: 31 March 2024, 23:00 UTC+02:00)

I managed to do it, but it wasn't easy.
System was extremely slow and I had to retry several times.
