Azure Arc enabled server Microsoft.SoftwareUpdateManagement.WindowsOsUpdateExtension folder is holding Gb's of logs for Updates. How do I disable this?

C Strawn 15

Hello,

 We have a Win Server 2019 vm that keeps running out of disk space.  We tracked it down to 'C:\ProgramData\GuestConfig\extension_logs\Microsoft.SoftwareUpdateManagement.WindowsOsUpdateExtension'.  This folder contains WindowsUpdateExtension.log and TelemetryLogs that range from 10mb to 1.2 gb.  Can someone point me in the right direction on disabling this?  I appreciate any assistance.

Thank you
