Hi Peng,
Are you sure you’re deleting the subject folder from within the SUBJECTS_DIR?
rm -rf $SUBJECTS_DIR/ben
Should clear the issue.

External Email - Use Caution Dear all,
I am trying to run recon-all command for a subject ben. Before I perform this command, I have exported SUBJECTS_DIR to a folder with only T1 data for this subject ben in it. However after I entered the command "recon-all -s ben -i T1.nii -all", this error showed up:
ERROR: You are trying to re-run an existing subject with (possibly)
new input data (-i). If this is truly new input data, you should delete
the subject folder and re-run, or specify a different subject name.
If you are just continuing an analysis of an existing subject, then
omit all -i flags.
I have tried all the suggestions listed in the error information, but none worked.
Does anyone have any suggestion? I would really appreciated it.
Many Thanks
