BrowserMetrics
This has become an issue again, which seemed initially to be solved, Yesterday admittedly after having an Edge session with multiple tabs probably open for most of the week the Browser Metrics folder had ballooned to 179GB, currently with 2 tabs open it's generating 20 4MB files a minute so 4.8GB an hour so I now have 32Hrs 30 minutes of disk space until Edge fills my OS SSD again.
I've already added the reg key described and set to 0 and confirmed that this has applied in edge://policy. I can't find a root cause for this but unless I'm able to pretty soon I'll just have to go back to chrome.
sending machine logs using feedback button is the only useful way to let developers know you are having this issue.
I am having the same issue. Got a low disk warning on a drive that never normally runs out of space, and the browser metrics folder is just full of gigabytes of 4mb .pma files. I sent a feedback note to MS through Edge. I also attempted the registry fix as outlined above but that has had no effect. Edge is unusable if it's just going to eat HD space.
- If folks seeing this again could confirm their version as well, I'll ping the team on my side to take a look. Thanks for reporting this in the browser as that allows us to look at detailed diagnostics! 😃
- I went ahead and flagged this to the team to take a look over the weekend, they're investigating this and have let me know that the policy won’t do anything anymore since it’s been obsoleted in 89. However, folks can delete the folder as a workaround while we figure this out (make sure Edge isn’t running when you delete the folder).
If you could still confirm the version you're seeing this in, we'd appreciate it!
