[Nodxa] WSJT-X might save wave files

[Elmer Steingass]

I had this problem as well.  I ran out of hard drive space and had to delete them all. There is a setting in the program that allows you to not save them.

Hello,

This is an FYI for FT8 users  (FT4, etc. also). My apologies for taking 
your time if this news does not affect you.

I am working on cleaning files from old computers before I trash them.  
On one machine that I had run WSJT-X prior to version 2.2.2 I found that 
every 15 seconds the machine was saving the whole WAV file for the 
received sound.  This amounted to tens of thousands of ".wav" files in 
the local applications directory on the PC.  You can read more about 
this problem in

If you haven't checked your PC (or Mac, Linux) you might not have 
noticed this problem.  There's  a good chance you don't need all those 
files eating your system drive.

I am not seeing this problem yet in version 2.2.2 in Windows 10. Note:  
if you were using Windows XP the naming convention for the local 
applications directory is slightly different from Windows 7 and above.
