To clean a database directory when the database is no longer required, go to the database directory, and then type:

When you have finished with a Quanvert database, delete as many files as possible to save disk space. qvclean is a variant of quclean and flipclean, which deletes all the files which make up a database.

The Windows version of qvclean has a standard list of files that it tries to delete, and does not test whether a file exists before trying to delete it. When qvclean tries to delete a file that does not exist it issues an error message saying that it cannot find the file. You can ignore these messages.

Do not try to delete variables by removing variable files with operating system commands.
