On one of our media agents I came accross a folder named ..\iDataAgent\JobResults\DM2CacheDir\EdgeCollect
It did not contain any data, but tens of thousands of empty subfolders. At first I thought it might be related to Threat Analysis, but that software package is not installed. I renamed the folder, and it got recreated again.
The media agent had the index server roles Data Analytics, EDGE drive, and FileSystem Index assigned. I removed EDGE drive, and renamed the EdgeCollect folder, but it was recreated again.
What’s the purpose of this folder, and which process/functionality is using it?
