I was cleaning out my computer and noticed a huge file full of logs in the ROBLOX local folder.
That’s almost 1GB of text documents…
I soon figured out that studio creates a couple new log file each time you launch the application. Any old files are not removed. I personally find this a waste of space and I don’t think it’s the proper behavior.
File can be found at C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Roblox\logs
Why don’t these get cleared automatically? It looks like old ones are already put into an archive folder. Out of the 136 MB the log folder is for me (even though Windows was clean-installed and ROBLOX was installed only 2 weeks ago), the archive folder is 117 MB, or 86%. The logs folder wouldn’t be nearly as big if ROBLOX kept the archive folder clean and deleted old files. If it does this already, it needs to keep the files for shorter periods of time so the folder doesn’t build up to be this big.
I’m working on this problem right now. I’ve solved this on windows (Logs should soon be culled after 14 days). However, it appears logs are not being culled at all on Mac.
Can someone with Mac show how many logs they have gathered on their client, and confirm this is the case? Thanks!
76.8 MB used- I also reinstall ROBLOX Player and Studio because of an issue with the updater for Mac (says it can’t update every Thursday after an update)
