iCloud Photos for Windows desktop .log file bloat
iCloud, particularly iCloud Photos, allows its .log files to inflate to insane sizes on each startup of Windows, and doesn't delete old logs.
The way I understand this is that on each startup, iCloud attempts to grab the thumbnail for each item in my Photo Library in the background, it fails on every item, and keeps a log of each. The issue is that I have about 17 thousand items in my library, so on each startup there is a .log file that gets filled with up to 17 thousand lines of failed thumbnail generation records, which inflate up to ~2gb in size.
iCloud does not delete previous logs either, so I had come across a whopping 43gb of these log files slowly piling up deep inside appdata, which you could only really pick out with something like WinDirStat (it's not in the regular Temp folder in Windows).
Is there a fix to this on my end? I can probably run a scheduled task that deletes old logs on startup, but that seems pretty hacked together. iCloud should be doing this on it's own
