Perform a Quick Format of the Output Drive
To clear disk space on the instrument computer for a subsequent run, Illumina
recommends performing a quick format of the output (O:\) drive after a run completes. A
quick format clears the O:\ drive without removing important system or instrument
maintenance files.
NOTE
Instrument maintenance logs are stored on the C:\ drive. Therefore, it is safe to perform a
quick format of the O:\ drive while performing an instrument wash.
