debug file using all my space on my harddrive

Question

After extensive search to find why my harddrive continually fills up every day, i have discovered that the debug folder in the program files/trend micro folder has at last look over 108 GB of used space.this is crazy, how do i fix this issue?

Sad to know that the debug folder consumes 108 GB storage. One of the possible reasons would be it is still collecting some data on your machine.

Hope this helps.

thanks for the info, it appears to have fixed the issue at this point. However it seems my pc has had a major malfunction and I have only just managed to get it back online. i did have to delete one folder in the asmp folder as at 78 gb i needed the space after my gaming drive failed, i think it was the 2011 folder. I'm hoping that this hasn't caused my issues. Anyway Thanks again

I just hit this same problem on my Windows 10 computer, running Trend Micro Internet Security 2017.  My C drive filled up.  I traced the problem to the program files\Trend Micro\AMSP\debug folder, which has 165 GB of space.  Can I safely get rid of the contents of this folder?  And how can I stop this from happening?  If this continues to happen, I'll have to abandon Trend Micro and try another product.
