    %temp% folder spammed with hundreds of log files


    I just noticed today, that my %temp% folder is spammed with hundreds of 0kb sized mat-debug-xxxx.log files since 2 weeks, maybe since 1909? They are all empty, and created every few minutes. There are some some files called aria-debug-xxx.log and one of them had this content in them:

    2019-11-26 14:42:12.974|00012880|C:\build\aria-cpp-v1\clienttelemetry\src\LogManagerImpl.cpp(626): class Microsoft::Applications::Telemetry::ILogger *__thiscall Microsoft::Applications::Telemetry::LogManagerImpl::Initialize(const class std::basic_string<char,struct std::char_traits<char>,class std::allocator<char> > &,const struct Microsoft::Applications::Telemetry::LogConfiguration &) WARNING: Invalid in-ram queue size (20971520), adjusted to max ram queue size

    I dont have a c:\build folder.

    What is this all about? Anyone know whats causing this, and how to deactivate this logging?

    :)

    about temp folder

    Hi Hector,

    The temp folder provides work space for programs. Yes they can be deleted. We suggest that you follow the steps provided by Sangeeta Sarkar on how to delete Temp files on this

    link
    . You may also type in the search box Disk Cleanup and hit enter. It will evaluate your disk and give you a list of folders sizes that can be deleted.

    Keep us updated on the status of the issue. We will be glad to assist you further.

    Missing folder after the PC logged in to Temp profile

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that the when you sign in to the computer, you are signed in to a temp profile. As you have mentioned that you are back to the regular profile however, unable to access a folder, please reply with the following details:



    • What is the complete error message that you receive when you try to access the folder?
    • Which folder did you move and to which profile?


    You can try searching for the folder or files inside the folder and see if that helps. Please follow the steps mentioned below:



    1. Open File Explorer and press
      ctrl + F
      key together.
    2. Search for the folder with the name or the files inside the folder.
    3. You can also search for the file using the file extension adding the
      * sign as a prefix, like *.exe or *.jpeg
    You can also navigate to C:\Users and if you see a folder name starting with Temp, you can look for the file or folder inside the Temp folder.



    If you find the folder or the file, you can copy the data.



    Please reply with the status of the issue, we will be glad to help you further.



    Regards,

  4. %temp% folder spammed with hundreds of log files

    AppX keeps spamming my Temp folder constantly with unnecessary filthy files.

    I go from 80-100 GBs one day, the next day AppX spams my temp folder. I delete the unnecessary files and the pattern recycles. How do I stop this horrific issue?
