EDT2021R1: New version, new bugs: stuck at “cleaning simulation directories”

  After updating to EDT 2021R1 in HFSS DrivenModal I am getting an infinite "Cleaning simulation directories" after 30-40 iterations of computation.
  I am doing simulations by a script, and the OS is Win10 x64 for Workstations 20H2 19042.685 in RDP mode.
  There is a plenty of free disk space on RAID array, and I was trying deleting the results directory manually before the simulation. But the bug still appears once in a while after I installed 2021R1; and it gets very annoying, since I run the script unattended and it delays my research timeline.

  Hello Array,
  we need to diagnose this issue and not possible to work on this on the forum platform.
  To resolve this, you need to get in contact with your local Ansys Support Coordinator/ Account manager, who can forward your query to the Ansys support team.

  I don't know what was that. I do not see it any more for a week or two. Now I am fighting with your license department who decided that we have more users than licenses (which is opposite), so the direct communication is complicated.

  I guess, I know what was that. The option "distribute memory" was turned on. I do not remember why I turned it on, probably in attempt to get better multi-worker performance. But since it got really much worse, I turned it off.... And there is no "directory cleaning" freeze any more.
  
  You should audit your distributed memory code, the temp data clean up stage. There is a bug.

  Hello, we have almost the same issue : simulation by a script or optimetrics and after 30/40 iteractions the simulation is stucked on "Cleaning simulation directories". After a while, the "Cleaning simulation directories" turn into a MPI error. Did you find a solution? we tried a lot of things but nothing worked. Thanks for you reply.
