We control most (?) of these using ServerDirectoryCleanup's "retain" arguments (except, for example, eplusmtr.csv) by deleting them after they've already been requested and output.

Alternatively, could we replace ServerDirectoryCleanup with a model measure that modifies fields of OutputControl:Files?

That would work for EnergyPlus output files, but not OS or OS-HPXML output files.

joseph-robertson commented 1 month ago

Right. We'd still have this new measure control (by optionally deleting) OS and OS-HPXML output files.

Edit: I think I see what you're saying. The measure would need to happen after simulation to work for OS/OS-HPXML output files.
