 * [[Workstations/Windows7/FAQ|Frequently Asked Questions]] The W: drive contains application configuration files of your application. Do not delete these folders "to make space" or "clean up a bit".

== Local Temporary Data ==
On every Windows host, there is a folder called C:\Scratch (the equivalent folder on a Linux box would be /scratch). We recommend to use this folder for processing large amounts of computing data. This will also result in a performance boost because you will not read and write data via the network.

Please be aware that C:\Scratch is not secured by a backup. If the harddisc crashes, your data will be lost.
