[apeltzer]

Maybe try to use workflow.onCompleteand specify to delete the workDir then?

Not sure whether this is possible...

Actually there's a(n undocumented) feature to cleanup automatically the work dir adding cleanup = true in the config.

How can I delete the empty directories left in the work_dir from within the nextflow script?
