In upgraded to an optimized client today I noticed many (19) old files in the C:\\Program Files\\BOINC\\projects\\setiathome.berkeley.edu direcory. They appear to be work units.

1. Can/Should they be deleted?

2. Does this indicate that there was a problem like some work units were not properly reports?
Not terribly concerned, just curious.

If they do not show up on the Tasks list they can be deleted no problem.
