Hard drive filling up

Hi again, I have been working with arachni for a while now on Ubuntu 12.04. I have noticed a disturbing trend. My hard drive keeps filling up. To this point I have just gone in and increased the partition size but it does not take long for the drive to be near full again. I am wondering if there are left-overs from scans that can be deleted? Or logs or anything that might be associated with the scans that could cause this? I do not believe this is an arachni issue but I thought it best to check just in case while I pursue other avenues. Thanks.

    Are you using the WebUI? Because if so then there'll be logs from the RPC servers.
    Also, are you using the packages or the gem?

    I am not using WebUI, I just downloaded the nightly build and run it from the desktop via command line so I believe I am using gem (to be honest I'm not 100% sure).

    Ah no, the nightlies are ordinary packages. Then no, aside from the generated reports there's nothing else.

    Thanks for the quick response. At least I can close this avenue and look for others.

    One more thing, is there an error.log in the working dir?

    Yes there is, but it's only about 4 MB. Not a big concern at that size but I have been watching it of late.

    OK, it's something else then.
