Too much Disk writes : many onedrive.exe activities with telemetryCache.otc-journal file
Yes I have been on the same boat, and OneDriveSetup fails all the time so I have to keep running it manually from the command prompt with special flags.
Anyways, I am in this situation where it fails to send whatever telemetry it sends, so it makes an entry on my temp folder on a file called aria-debug-<some-number>.log and it is not funny, those log files have grown up to 72 GB 😡 in fact, that is how I realized of their existence, because my HD got full.
So, now I have to keep erasing them. Today's culprit is "just" 22 GB and was created on 9/14 6:51 PM and last write on 9/15 12:52 PM.
This is out of control. So, if you are getting those aria-debug-whatever.log files, keep an eye on their size...
We´re having the exact same problem and, for me, this was the only english language thread I could find.
There are some people talking about the same Issue in swedish, japanese and russian so maybe it would make sense for Microsoft to utter a statement?
I suppose that, to this day, there is no real fix?
No, it seems that there is no fix at the moment. The only fix was if someone would figure out how to install an older version of Onedrive and prevent it from automatic update (no, the method with disabling the scheduled update task doesn't work here, because the update seems to take place immediately during installation process - the method only works to prevent an already installed and running Onedrive from future updates).
So for now I deactivated the autostart of Onedrive and only start it when I need it. Will wait a few weeks, if there is no solution I will stop using onedrive and find another cloud, because so it's quite useless for me.
Do you speak one of the other languages? Any interesting findings there?
Thanks for your answer.
Sadly I don´t speak any of those languages. I tried to get something out of it with google translate but to no real effect.
I think that they don´t have much more of a clue then we. Probably a bug that has to be fixed from MS Site.
Hahah, while just googling the issue again to supply the links of the other forums it seems that the google crawler found new stuff or priorized it differently - some youtube videos about the issue now and several german (my native language) and english posts.
I suppose we have to wait for a fix.
