Is folder .spikedetect necessary for further processing after clustering?

[Susanne Babl]

Hi Klusta team, 

I recently wanted to back up my data clustered with KlustaKwik and I realized that it is very time consuming to copy the folder .spikedetect as it contains thousands of small files. I was wondering whether this folder is necessary after automatic clustering is complete, e.g. for viewing the clusters in phy, or whether it could be deleted.

As far as I can tell, phy seems to run fine without the folder .spikedetect, maybe anyone can confirm this?

Are there any other files or folders created by KlustaKwik that can be deleted after clustering?

Thank you!

Best regards,

Susanne
