Outlook Logging fills my disk

Since approx. 27/6, my C:\Users\waynes\AppData\Local\Temp\Outlook Logging folder is filling up, consuming 25GB of disk space in just a few days.  The files in there all appear to be registry dumps of one of the Outlook Profiles on my machine.  I've checked and I do NOT have Outlook Logging turned and I've checked both via Outlook > Options > Advanced and via the registry key.

I'm at a loss to explain why it started on that day, as I had not installed any patches for around a week before that.  I can confirm that it started on that day based on daily graphs I get from Treesize Professional.

Anyone got ideas please?

Thanks

Ok - I've resolved this now.  Blog post here in case you are interested http://www.sbsfaq.com/?p=3972

If you don't want to read the blog post - the solution is that I had a mailbox in my Outlook Profile that was not contactable and Outlook appears to default to enabling logging by itself without actually showing it is doing this.  I'd love to see this documented somewhere.

In addition, I've researched for a long time and I haven't found any documentation stating this issue. I'll submit a feedback regarding this issue through internal way. Hope we can get a good reasonable explaination.
