It seems like by default unzip or tar keep the modification and access time of the original files when the archive was created. This cause the files on SCRATCH to be wiped out although you unzipped the archive recently.
unzip
tar
People are getting caught by this from time to time, this should be mentioned as a caveat with SCRATCH (with potentially an example of unzipping a common dataset from DSDIR (e.g. coco as in https://gitter.im/jean-zay-users/jean-zay-doc?at=606737053153ce63a3b5a1c5)
The work-around is to use tar -m or unzip -DD so that the extracted files have the timestamp of archive extraction.
tar -m
unzip -DD
