Hi Arnau
Indeed in the version now in production, in the WN a directory
home_cream_xxx is left in the home directory of the home user.
This should be empty when the job finishes, and this directory will be
eventally removed by the cleanup-grid-accounts cron.
The blah guys already provided a fix: in next release of
the CREAM CE that directory will not be left anymore
Cheers, Massimo
