Nextcloud Portable stores log and cache files in local AppData #69

Update 3.16

Nextcloud Portable keeps a cookie database as well as a log file outside the Next Cloud Portable directory, here:
%APPDATA%\Nextcloud

The files are:

cookies0.db
xx_sync.log

They persist permanently and are updated every time NCP has been run.

While Nextcloud Portable is actively running, it also creates temporary folders and files here:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Nextcloud\
As of version 3.16 there are three subfolders:

  • \cache -> contains 84 .qmlc files
  • \qmlcache
  • \qtpipelinecache-x86_64-little_endian-llp64

When NCP is shut down, the Local folder disappears, but the Roaming one stays.

IMHO all of these folders and files should be confined to the Nextcloud Portable directory. Especially the permanent cookies and synclog, because they contain detailed information about the names, locations and sizes of all files that have been synced during your last session.

Setup:
Nextcloud Portable 3.16.6 win64
Windows10 64bit
