[Pw_forum] Is it necessary to clear outdir / wfcdir before calculation?

[WF]

Hello everyone,

         Recently I make a small bash script to run a lot of small pw.x
calculation one by one.

         But all of them use same outdir and wfcdir. They are temporary
directories and I don't need them ( I only need scf energy, so stdout is
enough ). Is it necessary to delete them before starting a new calculation ?
Because I have done a lot of calculation, I would like to verify whether
this will affect the results to determine whether I should modify the script
to restart my calculation again, or just use these result.

 

Best regards,

Wu F
