#Windows 10/11 users...

I've come across a maddening issue the last 3 days with a massive uptick in #DiskUsage that pegs the needle at 100% for hours.

#MicroSlop seems to want to slurp up every minute detail on what's loaded and used on my PC, and runs it as a background service that is usually enabled by default, but this is the first time I'm seeing it used/abused.

It's 'Compatibility checker' runtime is: Compattelrunner.exe

How to disable it is detailed here:

I've recently been struggling with disk space on one of my servers.

"df" is showing all my disk space is gone but "du" is not finding any files that would amount to filling up the disk.

Finally,, "lsof" reveals it is log files that has been rotated in a docker container but still are open (but marked deleted) 🤦‍♂️

I could restart the docker containers at a regular interval to release the deleted files...

But is there a better way to handle this?
