I noticed that recently more and more free space on my SSD was being taken up by something, but I didn't know what it was. After running WinDirStat, I discovered that I had a total of 5.1 GB being used for Valorant logs. One single log from last night was 2.8 GB itself.

This is intended behavior, as seen in this comment on an older post: https://www.reddit.com/r/VALORANT/comments/fxid1k/valorant_log_files_taking_up_disk_space_check/fn4er3l/

The oldest log is replaced by the newest log on launch, so I guess this isn't really an issue unless you only have a few GB left on your drive. However, is this really necessary? I feel like I shouldn't have to have massive log files being written to my SSD constantly just for playing the game.

We have a fix for this in the next major patch. It's safe to delete these files if you need to reclaim the space before then.

Thank you for the response! Could you clarify what is being fixed? Is it the large log file sizes or something else?

The large log file is caused by an errant warning spamming repeatedly. That’s fixed. The game also periodically deletes old log files.
