    Hello everybody,
    can someone help me?
    My MagicMirror runs for almost a year without errors, but slowly the SD memory card (32GB) is filling up by itself?
    After my MagicMirror installation I had about 24GB of free space. And now I only have 6.1GB free (see picture).
    What do I have to do to get burst again?

    thank you

          @drx1984 clear the logs. pm2 flush
          altho I might want to find out what all that is.

          u can dump a little
          pm2 logs --lines=???
          ???= some number, default is 15

          u can also.look at them in the ~/.pm2/logs
          folder

            can I turn off the log?
            how do i get to the pm2 folder? that should be in the “root” folder right? somehow I have no notice.

              I was able to do something and I found this post:
              https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/917/pm2-logs/7
              I then entered the command “pm2 flush” and I already have 21GB of free space again, that looks very good.
              could I automate something like that? or deactivate the pm2 log?

                @drx1984 I gave u the pm2 flush command

                if u install winscp on your pc box, and enable ssh on your pi, you can get a file manager.over the pi files from your pc
                then just double click to edit like u do on the pc. right click to rename/delete

                I would have looked at the log to find out what modules are generating all that content.

                far as I know there is no way to turn off the log.

                maybe
                pm2 help
                would some some options

                  @drx1984

                  also file location

                  ~
                  means users home folder
                  so when logged on as pi, that means
                  /home/pi

                  so from my post
                  ~/.pm2/logs means
                  /home/pi/.pm2/logs

                  u can get there over ssh, or using a terminal window on the pi, or a file manager on the pi, just like u do on widows

                    yes I had already installed the program WinSCP, but I don’t see this folder pm2 ??? ( see image)

                    Yes that would be interesting which modules cause these logs. next time I won’t just delete it.
