Huge iCloud file on PC in \user\appdata\local\packages\appleincicloud_...\localcache\local\logs

Running out of disk space on my PC and found the culprit using WinDirStat, a 64gig log file created by the iCloud app. My solution was to erase the contents of the log file directory and reboot only to return to the directory and file another log file growing without stop.

Windows, Windows 10 (19045)

iCloud Storage Discrepancy? In order to trim down my iCloud storage, I compared the reported usage of 71 Gigs in my iCloud Drive storage: with the reported sizes of my iCloud Documents, Desktop and other assorted files in the finder window. The reported size is about 46 gigs: What accounts for the 25 gig difference? Note that photos, messages and other apps are already accounted for below the iCloud drive contents. The iCloud Drive contains only Desktop, Documents (no music, photos, etc) and a few other items.

icloud drive above my capacity Hey all I need help, I recently cleaned my download from both safari and chrome on my iPhone 13 and it keeps reporting that I’m using on my iCloud Drive 17 gb. However I don’t have any iCloud plan active and looked also on the desktop website and it says that actually I’m using 5/5 gb. I’d like to remove these extra 12 gb even if the files app doesn’t report any file to delete even in the recently deleted folder. could you please help me?

Finder says "Your iCloud Storage is full" after buying more iCloud+ 50GB Hello everyone! I subscribed to Apple One (Individual) with 50GB iCloud storage, and a few weeks later, I ran out of storage space, and I bought more 50GB iCloud+, so I currently have a total of 100GB storage space (50GB from Apple One + 50GB iCloud+). But even after buying more 50GB, Finder still shows "Your iCloud Storage is full" at the topbar (see the first image below), but I still have 44.9GB free space (see the second image below). I've tried to: Clean the caches (rm -rf ~/Library/Caches) Clean Finder, Bird, Cloudd preferences com.apple.icloud.*.plist com.apple.finder.plist com.apple.cloud.quota.plist com.apple.cloudd.plist com.apple.CloudSubscriptionFeatures.cache.plist com.apple.CloudSubscriptionFeatures.config.plist com.apple.CloudSubscriptionFeatures.geoCache.plist com.apple.bird.plist Restart the Mac (so many times) Ensure that it is updated to the latest version (currently on Ventura 13.1 (22C65)) Sign out and sign in again Create a new user account on Mac and sign in to my Apple account on it Then lastly, format the Mac And after all those tries, the problem is still. I added my account to a new fresh install Macbook Pro M1, and the problem persists. I called Apple Support, but they didn't solve the problem. Does anyone know how to fix this? That message on the finder is completely annoying, even after buying more space. PS: This message doesn't appear on my iPhone.
