MicrosoftIf 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! 😃

MicrosoftI 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!

Thanks Alex,
Version 89.0.774.50 (Official build) (64-bit) - Folder is currently sat at around 35GB, it's dropped as low as 2.5GB but has ballooned as high as 179GB which filled the SSD.
- Alexandra-RThe team is looking into this but has requested some more information, if you're willing to help out! This gets a little involved but we'd really appreciate your assistance.
First, navigate to edge://local-state/ and grab everything there, save to a .txt file.
Next, head to edge://version/?show-variations-cmd and grab everything there as well, save to a .txt file also (different files please!)
Finally, if you could head to edge://policy/ and submit feedback (Alt + Shift + I), check to include the screenshot as well as diagnostic data, attach the 2 .txt files, and add the string "TC0317AR-1010LUO-TMEP908" so we can link it to this issue. If you'd like the team to be able to reach out directly, please check to include your email as well.
For your visibility, this information will help the team identify what's going on behind the scenes with your local state and reproduce it on their end. Thanks again for your help digging in to this!- Alexandra-R
