DaveS Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 As the title says. I haven't deliberately save anything to the small (64GB) boot drive of my obsy PC, but just now when I came to connect by RDP I got the message that my Talon roof control couldn't open because the drive was full. On searching I found a huge (27GB) folder of Sesto Senso logs. When I tried to delete them I got a message that they couldn't be deleted as the folder was open is Sequence, which iwas not itself open on the desktop. Can anyone shed light on the problem? I have been able to (Apparently) free up just over 2GB, but the last time i did this the drive was full again on the next connection. I will try and post a screenshot, but even that is proving a problem. And it would, of course, be a rare clear night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robertp Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Hi Dave, the huge file seems to be the log-file of your motor-focus, that connects to Sequence via Ascom. Have you tried to delete the file right after rebooting your computer before you start Sequence or any other astro-related programs? I would also suggest that you check the ascom driver to see whether you can define a different location for the log-file. Hope this helps, Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveS Posted February 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Thanks Robert. I'll have a go at it tomorrow, when I have enough working brain cells lined up. It will mean going out to the obsy and connecting a keyboard and mouse so a bit chilly. If I can set a new location then the big NAS in the office seems like a good place.

DaveS Posted February 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Thanks for the tip Robert, it looks to have worked. When I connected by RDP I found that my documents folder had grown from 27GB to 30GB! Why, I have no idea, as I had managed to delete some files last night. After a forced Restart I was able to delete that huge file and now have 30GB free disk space. I haven't tried running Sequence yet so may have yet another bork, which are coming thick and fast with my hardware / software. Still need to find out what is wantonly filling up my hard disk. Hope I haven't picked up someth9ing nasty from the web, but Windows Antivirus isn't showing any threats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertp Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hi Dave, glad to hear that you managed to delete the huge log-file. I've just read through the sesto-senso documentation and did not find an option to control the amount of logging-data that is stored. I would suggest that you monitor the log-file size to get a feeling how much it grows during one night. If it grows very fast, then it might make sense to contact primaluce to see whether they have a recommendation to avoid the problem. You could also check whether you have turned logging on in the ascom chooser, I guess there is a checkbox where you can turn logging on or off for the ascom devices. Clear skies, Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveS Posted February 10, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2021 (edited) Thanks Robert. 😄 Damn stupid emoji can't get rid of it What I typed was that I found a similar huge Sesto Senso log file on the C drive of the other remote PC, but was able to delete it as I had restarted the PC.
