Set a hard limit on disk used by Edge for cache
Kelly_Y Hi yes we're aware of clearcachedimagesandfilesonexit but we don't want to implement that as it may cause performance issues for internal apps. We have never had an issue like this in IE11.
This behaviour is problematic for us as our desktops are virtual and some users have lost remote connectivity as low disk space has knocked-out the remote access software.
MicrosoftDeltaWasp this quota value is currently per-cache which is admittedly a bit unintuitive. The Chromium project is tracking that wrinkle via https://crbug.com/1064308.
Please note that the eviction process will not run in the first 5 minutes after the browser launches for performance and responsiveness reasons.
To help us understand what caches and other data is contributing to the size you're seeing, can you please go through "%localappdata%\Microsoft\Edge\User Data" and recursively call out the directories contributing the most to the large size you're seeing?
