<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The operating system isn't really
relevant here. But you must not remove the /spider/data nor the
/spider/local_data directories and if you remove any of the
directories (e.g. log, spots) under these paths the behaviour is
undefined (at best) and should not be done at run time *at all*.
In principle you *could* remove old or unused directories at the
next level down (e.g. /spider/local_data/spots/2021 or
/spider/data/spots/2021) at any time, but removing a directory
that is in use (i.e. spots/2022) whilst running would likely cause
problems.<br>
