There is a log file in my Riot Client Logs which is >22GB - I can only assume its from valorant because it's the only riot game I have installed.

The path (on Windows) for me is "%localappdata%\Riot Games\Riot Client\Logs\Riot Client Logs\".

Check your logs folders guys because I can only assume the game messed up hard generating a 22gb log file in one day

edit: I can't even open the log file in any editor I have: notepad++

, notepad
, vscode
; presumably becuase I don't have 22gb of ram for notepad lol

Hello, this was due to an issue that occurred on the 7th (note how the large file is called 2020-04-07). We pushed out a fix to the issue on the same day. The file will eventually get cleaned up but there is no harm in deleting it now and freeing up the disk space.

I have posted more details about the issue on other threads: https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/comments/fxid1k/valorant_log_files_taking_up_disk_space_check/fn4er3l?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x
