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? 

We might need a case raised so we can identify the exact configuration to better understand what product feature is creating it - so you can take a well-informed approach.


Thanks for your reply @mfox . I opened a support case and hope to get a conclusive answer.
