Hass OS VM Size Problems (Need Help)

I have been running Hassos on VMware and when it runs its great but it keeps increasing in size to the point where it causes problems and I do not know why. I had to delete other VMs to make room and I am almost out of room again. This is not the first time it has crashed and I have had to start over with an outdated snapshot.

Can anyone explain why this happening and how to avoid it?

Let me bet, it’s your recorder database. See the docs:


I’d recommend also setting
purge_keep_days: 5
commit_interval: 15

I followed your suggestions and it helped temporarily but now there are 2 .vmdk files and the second one is still growing. Hopefully it will remain steady after 5 days.

recorder:
purge_keep_days: 5

Can the 52gb 0001.vmdk file be deleted it? I desperately need that space

Looks like it’s probably a backup, or just plain hassos. Just create a backup, delete that file, and see if it still boots.
