Windows directory fills up with tracing files when using SQL Plus to connect to database

edited May 3, 2023 6:45PM in SQL*Plus (MOSC) 5 commentsAnswered ✓

I'm using Windows 10 workstation and using SQL Plus to connect to a remote Oracle database 19g.

Over the last few days a directory C:\app\client\myuserid\diag\clients\user_myuserid\host_163064912_110\trace has filled up with 16 GB of trace files. I've periodically deleted them but they keep coming back.

I've tried to find where this is configured on my workstation but unable to find the tracing. sqlnet.ora and tnsnames.ora files are both standard with no tracing enabled.

What other steps do I need to do to permanently disable tracing?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
