Today after March release deployment I noticed bunch of log .txt files per each chat channel name appeared inside my google drive folder.

1. Is it safe to delete them?
2. How can I point EVE to keep them at the usual spot inside AppDir?

P.S. I’m running Win 10.

1. Yes, they are just chat logs. Any channel you use will generate one of these logs on a daily basis. You don’t even need to generate them at all if you don’t want to, as there is a tickbox option in the escape menu ‘save chat log to file’ or something like that. Untick that, no more chat logs.

2. Can’t check right now as I am at work, but as above, there are chat log saving options in the escape menu. There might be a save path option there. Worth a look.

Hope that helps 🙂
