      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

                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

                    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.
