hey, is it normal to have a db-wal file size of 218 GB?
it was over 400 GB few times, but i read that this is strange and you need to delete the file after you stopped the service.
i writing about it because it’s ridiculous that i need to remove this file every few days

also its on one folder that im syncing, different folders have db-wal of few MB
the folder that has the 218GB of db-wal is as follows:
468GB of stuff
225,253 files, 18,175 folders

so is anything can be done?

What does exactly happen? You delete it, then it grows again to the same size?

Could debug a bit and check in the logs or check with a SQLite tool what gets added all the time?
