-On each cluster go to the paths indicated below, and look for a file with your name.
-<pre>
+* On cedar, beluga and  grahams cluster go to the /scratch/to_delete/ path  and look for a file with your name.
-cedar:   /scratch/to_delete/
+* On niagara go to /scratch/t/to_delete/ (link to /scratch/t/todelete/current)
-beluga:  /scratch/to_delete/

 </pre>
 The file will contain a list of filenames with full path, possibly other information about atime, ctime, size, etc. It will be updated only on the 1st and the 12th of each month. If a file with your name is there it means you have candidates slated for purging, otherwise there is nothing to worry about that month.
 If you access/read/move/delete some of the candidates between the 1st and the 11th, there won't be any changes in the assessment until the 12th.
 If you access/read/move/delete some of the candidates after the 12th, then you have to check yourself to confirm your files won't be purged on the 15th (see below)
+If there are was an assessment file up until the 11th, but no longer on the 12th, it's because you don't have any file to be purged anymore.
