.C2 files used by wsprd

I have a Orange Pi 5 running Spark and decoding 10 bands of WSPR etc. All is good except Sparc is storeing 4 to 5 Gb of the .c2 files that wsprd uses in its decodes.

I never noticed when running on a PC with a hard disk but that is a significant percentage of the OPI's SD card.

Is there any way of reducing the amount of these kept?

I assume they don't generally serve a purpose after the decode, except maybe debugging.

Hi Ian,

it should delete these, what version are you using?

Hi Alan,

Its the latest stable release: 2.0.33 arm64. I see this has come up before, maybe the bug has crept back in.

They are deleted at restarts but am trying to avoid those if possible.

73's and cheers, Ian vk2ama

Thanks Alan,

2.0.975 has been up and running for a few days now everything looks good, disk usage is normal.

Slightly off topic but is there any way of starting SparkSDR minimized from the command line, apart from messy linux window management scripts?

Cheers Ian vk2ama
