How to Turn Off Logging in New Outlook
I have been searching for a couple/few months for a solution to this problem and I am starting to think that maybe I am the only one experiencing this issue. The NEW Outlook on Windows keeps creating these huge log files in AppData/Local/Microsoft/Olk/logs. They can quickly grow to 25 or 30GB or more in just a couple weeks, so I have to keep going into the folder and deleting them. I have no idea how I might have accidentally enabled this, and I can't find anyway to disable it. I have tried enabling and disabling troubleshooting logging in the classic Outlook for Windows, but this doesn't have any effect in the NEW Outlook. Has anyone else experienced this or have any ideas for how to disable this logging?

For now - I've removed the "write permissions" for mentioned folder. Not new files there. Hope it helps someone.
IhorD320as smart as simple idea! Good one!! it seems to me it works.
Yet: are we sure olk does not write logs somewhere else?
Sadly you are not alone in this.
I now have an increasing number of users burning through their disk space like there is no tomorrow.
There is pretty sparse mention of this when searching online for a solution.
High time someone at Microsoft extract the digit and get an update supplied on this!
Robert_Young385I'm running into the same problem, too. My disk space is wasted for these huge outlook new file. I want t get rid of them. Does anyone out there know how to deal with that?
