Hi guthrie: Please see my 03-Nov-2021 post in BFost's Dell Software Writing 230GB of Logs about a known bug in System Repair (also called SupportAssist OS Recovery / SupportAssist Remediation). As a first troubleshooting step, turn System Repair OFF in your SupportAssist settings at Options (gear icon) | Settings | System Repair | System Repair is Turned On. You should see a warning similar to the image below that files created by System Repair will be deleted after you select the "Yes, I'm Sure" button. [IMAGE] After you've turned off System Repair, confirm that the hidden C:\ProgramData\Dell\SARemediation\System Repair folder has decreased in size (I recall mine dropped below 10 MB). Then reboot and turn System Repair back ON in SupportAssist (assuming you want to use this Dell feature to create system repair points for system recovery) and then monitor the size of that hidden folder for a few weeks. If you have the latest SupportAssist (currently v3.10.3.3) and Dell SupportAssist Remediation (currently v5.5.0.16041) and have chosen a max. storage size of 15 GB for system repair points that folder might grow a few extra GBs beyond 15 GB but shouldn't grow much larger than 20-25 GB, assuming this workaround works on your system.-----------64-bit Win 10 Pro v21H1 build 19043.1288 * Firefox v94.0.1 * Microsoft Defender v.4.18.2110.6-1.1.18700.4 * Malwarebytes Premium v4.4.10.144-1.0.1499 * Dell SupportAssist v3.10.3.3 * Dell SupportAssist Remediation v5.5.0.16041 * Dell Update for Windows 10 v4.4.0Dell Inspiron 15 5584, Intel i5-8265U CPU, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB Toshiba KBG40ZNS256G NVMe SSD, Intel UHD Graphics 620
I have the system Repair settings at “recommended – 15 GB” in the Dell supportAssist tool. But in c:\ProgramData\Dell\SARemediation it is 103 GB. Why so big, and how to reduce that?[IMAGE][IMAGE]
