Disk Management on the NextSeq 1000/2000
The NextSeq 1000/2000 local hard drive space must be managed via the Disk Management option in the control software.
The NextSeq 1000/2000 temporary folder is located at /usr/local/Illumina/runs/[runfolder] and is a complete local copy of the output folder.
Deleting the temporary folder manually outside of Disk Management can result in negative consequences.
A sequencing run requires ~200 GB (and up to 600 GB) of local hard drive space. A warning notification displays when space is low.
Use the following steps to delete completed runs and/or genomes to clear hard drive space, as needed.
From the control software menu select Disk Management.
The Disk Management screen appears with a list of runs and reference genomes saved to the local hard drive.
For the run to be deleted, select Delete Run
Deleting a run deletes the local run folder. The output folder, which is a copy of the run folder, is retained.
In the dialog box, select Yes, Delete Run to confirm deleting the run.
Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each run to be deleted.
For deleting a genome, select Delete Genome.
In the dialog box, select Yes, Delete Genome.
Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each genome that needs to be deleted.
When finished, close Disk Management and return to the Home screen.
