MicrosoftThe 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!

Thanks for this - this seems to be happening more and more, I was running out of HD space and found over 65GB of these files which I just removed. I sent off the feedback with those diagnostic files, if you need any more information let me know and I can grab it for you!
Hi! I have the same issue: sometimes, while Edge is opened, a lot of 4MB files in BrowserMetrics directory are appearing. So i lost all my space on C: drive several times. The first time i faced with this issue about month ago.
- Alexandra-RThank you for submitting! I'll let you know if the team needs additional info!
