Large File Silently Added To User Home Directory about ularcirc

[davhum]

Hi Dario,

After a bit of searching I discovered that this file is generated by dplyr functions which in turn use the BiocFileCache variables. I have discovered that you can reset the location by defining the unix variable XDG_CACHE_HOME.

i.e. type the following line (and update temporary directory accordingly) in your .profile file so that it is always set.

set XDG_CACHE_HOME=/scratch/tmp

The temporary files will then start populating either directly the defined directory or in a BiocFileCache subdirectory of this directory. In fact probably best to create the BiocFileCache
subdirectory.

I will add these details to the vignette and will close this thread when updated.

Note I have also addressed the browser() issues on the other thread but am still working through some minor warnings via devtools::build.

Regards,
D
