[Wien] Query regarding wien2k_scratch directory

[shamik chakrabarti]

Dear Prof. Gavin,

                Yes, wien2k is installed under the /home directory. I have
also checked /var. there are log files as mentioned in your reference [1].
In this regard, which files should I remove to recover the lost spaces?

with regards,
