Nipype Temporary Files

Hello everyone,

I have designed a workflow for preprocessing of fMRI data of several subjects using nipype. During the preprocessing and running workflow, nipype creates temporary files for each pipeline node which occupy a lot of space on the system. Is there a way to delete these temporary files for each subject without stopping the pipeline?

there is an experimental feature to delete previous folders that are no longer needed along with a stable feature to remove unnecessary outputs. both are covered under the execution config section here: https://miykael.github.io/nipype_tutorial/notebooks/basic_execution_configuration.html#Execution
