Running feff repeatedly is indeed a problem in the current version.
In fact, there are issues far beyond the one you bring up here.  It is
going to take me quite a while to fix all of the problems with running
feff repeatedly for the same feff calculation in an artemis project.
There are some seriously subtle issues involved.

The best advice I have for now either:

(1)  Completely delete the feff calculation from the project using the
     discard option in the Feff menu and then start over again

or (2)  Set the cluster size bigger than you anticipate needing and
        just don't worry about all the extra paths being carried
        around in the project file.
