idleassetsd is consuming huge amounts of data

I activated shuffle wallpaper, then sth went wrong with data usage. Within 2 hours, it used almost 20 GB. Although I updated macSonoma and started using my laptop on safe mode, the problem still persists.

XProtectRemediatorWaterNet is terribly slowing down my macbook XProtectRemediatorWaterNet is giving me me a hard time. I only use my macbook for photo editing and I only install & use legit softwares like Adobe apps & Capture One. Specs: 2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 8 GB Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB 64 GB 2667 MHz DDR4 The specs is already more than enough for my needs. But somehow, my notebook always slows down everytime XProtectRemediatorWaterNet runs. A restart would always resolve the problem but it is not a solution. I would always need to restart around every hour because once XProtectRemediatorWaterNet would activate, it would always slow down my editing process. It use 1GB of memory once it starts then would slowly rise up until it uses all of the remaining memory. It's using more memory than Lightroom, Photoshop & Capture One running simultaneously. It also would use around 75% of cpu. Is there a way around this? I cannot deactivate or turn off the service. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Rick

System settings / General / Storage shows Photos and System Data When I open System settings / General / Storage it completes all tasks very quickly apart from Photos and System Data. They have the 'rotating icon thing' going for hours. There are no Photos in that App. Anyone know why this is happening and how to 'fix' it? Thanks
