I have previously posted this question in the Samsung S7 Edge section here http://ift.tt/2aM0Iy9 but didn't get any response. It is possible that the topic didn't get any attention as it is in the wrong section and I also feared that my problem could be due to malware and some other security bugs.
My problem started when I was suddenly told that my S7 is running out space without any new huge apps being installed. I tracked down to the sudden lose of storage space to a folder named "memory-reports" inside the default Download folder. The folder content comprise multiple logfiles with each file sizes averaging 30mbs, and the number of files gradually increase make up to over 3gigs. I deleted the entire folder with the logfiles two days ago but the folder is back with six logfiles in them with the same avg file size each.
after Googling around, I found the description of the logfiles here http://ift.tt/28wApSD. it seem to relate to Mozilla Firefox and I doubt this problem is specific to Samsung S7 Edge although this is the phone I am using now and the problem only occurred to me for the first time recently. couldn't find any mention of similar issue anywhere else via Google, but maybe some of you guys are better at digging them up. Seeking some comments, suggestions as to what cause, possible solutions...
NOTE: My phone is NOT rooted. the logfiles are still being generated periodically and have to be deleted to recover the space. deleting them don;t seem to affect the operation of any apps and especially FIREFOX, which is the only connection I can find with mention of those logfiles name with MOZILLA. The problem seem unique to me at the moment as I still couldn't find any reference on Google to them. Any head-up suggestion on possible reason and ways to track down exactly which apps, background process are generating the log files are certainly welcomed.
