⚠️ Only UCSF P1-P2 data ("research using public data sets") is allowed on the Wynton cluster as of 2026-01-30.
⚠️ Please note that the Wynton HPC service is being phased out as part of the Wynton Transition project and is scheduled to retire in early March, 2027. New research projects should generally use the newer FAC and CoreHPC environment instead. ⚠️
To find all FASTQ or SAM files under ~/data/, do
find `~/data/` -type f -name '*.fastq' -o -name '*.fq' -o -name '*.sam'
To find all FASTQ and SAM files larger than 50,000 KiB (~= 48.8 MiB) in your home directory (recursively), do
find ~ -type f -name '*.fastq' -o -name '*.fq' -o -name '*.sam' -size +50000k
To do the same but also list their file sizes and time stamps:
find ~ -type f -name '*.fastq' -o -name '*.fq' -o -name '*.sam' -size +50000k -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $9 ": " $5 " (" $6 " " $7 " " $8 ")" }'
To find all files under ~/transfer/ that have neither been modified nor “added” during the last 14 days, do:
find ~/transfer/ -type f -ctime +14
To remove these files interactively (rm -i), do:
find ~/transfer/ -type f -ctime +14 -exec rm -i {} \;
