Hi all, I have a problem with a Windows Server 2016 which C: drive is being filled from Sophos Server Protection. The Endpoint version is latest and Updates are running fine. The problem is that Safestore.log and Clean.log are very large and still growing; 17.8 GB and 12.5 GB respectively. In Sophos documentation it says this (also for Clean.log) but obviously the rotation and size limit do not work on this machine for some reason. SophosCleanup.log (Only applicable to Windows 10 (x64) and later and Windows Server 2016 and later) Location C:\ProgramData\Sophos\Clean\Logs Description Contains cleanup actions, Safestore verification, and command process flow logging. The log size limit is compressed to 10MB and there are five log rotations. Can anyone please tell me how to shrink the files and get things back to normal? Thank you very much. BR, Daniel

Safestore.log and Clean.log very large - multiple GB

Hi all,

I have a problem with a Windows Server 2016 which C: drive is being filled from Sophos Server Protection. The Endpoint version is latest and Updates are running fine.

The problem is that Safestore.log and Clean.log are very large and still growing; 17.8 GB and 12.5 GB respectively.

In Sophos documentation it says this (also for Clean.log) but obviously the rotation and size limit do not work on this machine for some reason.

SophosCleanup.log (Only applicable to Windows 10 (x64) and later and Windows Server 2016 and later)
Location	`C:\ProgramData\Sophos\Clean\Logs`
Description	Contains cleanup actions, Safestore verification, and command process flow logging. The log size limit is compressed to 10MB and there are five log rotations.

Can anyone please tell me how to shrink the files and get things back to normal? Thank you very much.

BR,
Daniel
