Hi,
I attended a nextflow training and I was trying to run a simple script in our HPC. what i found was that the working folder was being recursively copied in the work folder. i have attached the script as well as screenshots of the output. please help
Hi,
Nextflow creates a recursive directory structure inside the work folder for each process. This ensures that every process runs in an isolated and containerised environment. It also helps prevent unnecessary re-execution of the same process. If the inputs, outputs, and process script remain unchanged, Nextflow can reuse the previously cached results when you run the workflow with the -resume option.

Hi @Fury_Gaming , Thanks a lot! I did not realize that it keeps creating a recursive directory structure.
