OneDrive for Mac OS temp files taking up a lot of space.
One of my users today noticed that OneDrive for Mac created a tmp file directory of over 15GB (see screenshot). My questions are: 1. Why are these files created and should they take up this much spa...
Hey Jason,
- These files should be of downloads that haven't completed yet. Once a file download has completed, it should be moved from the TMP folder to your actual OneDrive folder. If you don't have any pending downloads, then this is a bug.
- Yes these are safe to delete, but any pending downloads would be restarted.
Can you grab logs from ~/Library/OneDrive/Logs and direct message me them?
Thankyou!
I am having a similar problem: files in the TMP folder just don't delete after the copying has finished and thus the folder grows and grows... Best, Max

voeglerm Can you report a problem on that device and then send me the ticket number?
Silly question - but how do I do that? On OneDrive I can "send feedback" but not request help.
voeglerm Go to your admin center and click ''Need Help?'' and create a support ticket. Good luck!
