Hello all,

After a spin-polarized scf calculation, I have several files such as 
wfcup#.hdf5, wfcdw#hdf5 etc in in outdir/prefix.save. The number of the 
files are equal to the 2*number of k points. However, after nscf 
calculation, I am getting more data files in the outdir (not in 
outdir/prefix.save). I have N number of prefix.wfc* files where N is the 
number of processor I used. What is the difference between these two 
type of files? Are they both wavefunction? If I delete them, will there 
be any problem?

Sincerely,
Abdul Muhaymin,
