Traces of exfoliation of carbon-rich mixed material deposition layers were found in the divertor region after the experimental campaigns, indicating that the thickly accumulated deposited layers were exfoliated and broken into dusts. Simulation of the density profiles of carbon deposition in the divertor region by EMC3-EIRENE reasonably explains the observation of the exfoliation of the deposition layers. It shows that the positions of the exfoliated layers correspond to the area where the density of the carbon deposition is high. It also proves that change of the configuration of target plates in the closed divertor is effective for controlling the accumulation of the carbon deposition, and carbon atoms released from the new target plates does not influence the main plasma confinement region.
