The only time you should delete a file is when you take a SHA1 hash of a password and see that the SHA1 output is identical to the Nonce of a file. Otherwise, you should not delete the file. (Of course, if you start your node with -reset, then you delete everything.) -- Bill Cheng // bill.cheng@usc.edu
