A community effort to collect a curated set of analysis pipelines built using Nextflow.

nf-core

I have been running a number of nf-core pipelines. I noticed even after running `nextflow clean -f`  that (sometimes) the work dir is still large > 50 GB in some cases. Does anyone know why this might be the case ?

Is it possibly removing all runs except the latest?

could be the case or cleaning only latest run and not prior runs

It looks like the `nextflow clean -f`  only cleans the latest run. `nextflow clean -f -before RUN_NAME`  will clean all runs before `RUN_NAME`  and `nextflow clean -f -after RUN_NAME` will clean all runs after `RUN_NAME`

One other thing to keep in mind -- `nextflow clean` needs the history (in `.nextflow`), so if that got deleted/corrupted, it won't be able identify the affected runs.
