Too much Disk writes : many onedrive.exe activities with telemetryCache.otc-journal file

I have faced the exact same issue since end of august

I tried uninstalling, deleting the entire %APPLOCALDATA%\Microsoft\OneDrive folder (where Onedrive is installed). Then : 

reinstall version 17.3.6943.0625 (the one you get when downloading from microsoft site) : the disk usage is normal, problem not present.

BUT

the client is then automaticall updated to 17.3.6998.0830, and the problem appears

I could not find a way to forbid the automatic upgrade. Tried to disable "OneDrive Standalone Update Task" in task scheduler, but the upgrade still occured after.

However, 17.3.6998.0830 works fine on another computer. So this is related to a local issue on my computer

I found a workaround : manually changed the permissions on 

%APPLOCALDATA%\Microsoft\OneDrive\logs\Business1\TelemetryCache.otc

%APPLOCALDATA%\Microsoft\OneDrive\logs\Personal\TelemetryCache.otc

• disabled inheritance
• manually removed write permissions for my user account (screenshot attached)

Problem disappeared

Using process monitor, we can see that onedrive is still trying to write in the file, but it cannot :)

There is a side effect though : 

Onedrive is now writing in %APPLOCALDATA%\Temp\aria-debug-3212.log that something is wrong with telemetry, but that does not affect disk or cpu performance
