title: Traces.svclog in C drive
body: <p>I'm using Windows 8. In drive C 's root directory (C:) there are 27 WCF Trace file; 26 of them are named like &lt;guid&gt;Traces.svclog and one is Traces.svclog. I'm trying to find out which applications are creating these files; because I don't have any application that uses wcf trace described <a href="http://dotnetrobert.com/?q=node/63" rel="nofollow noreferrer">here</a>. </p>
  
  <p>And here is my C:\ directory's view:
  <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/8iCzO.png" alt="svclog files view"></p>
  
  <p>I've looked all of the traces: there are only 2 unique trace and the rest is exact copies of them. Here comes the details from one of them;</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;E2ETraceEvent xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2004/06/E2ETraceEvent"&gt;
  &lt;System xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2004/06/windows/eventlog/system"&gt;
  &lt;EventID&gt;589828&lt;/EventID&gt;
  &lt;Type&gt;3&lt;/Type&gt;
  &lt;SubType Name="Information"&gt;0&lt;/SubType&gt;
  &lt;Level&gt;8&lt;/Level&gt;

  &lt;Channel /&gt;
  &lt;Computer&gt;MYCOMP&lt;/Computer&gt;
  &lt;/System&gt;
  &lt;ApplicationData&gt;
  &lt;TraceData&gt;
  &lt;DataItem&gt;
  &lt;TraceRecord xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2004/10/E2ETraceEvent/TraceRecord" Severity="Information"&gt;

  &lt;Description&gt;ASP.Net hosted compilation.&lt;/Description&gt;
  &lt;AppDomain&gt;7f594460-3-129947566686622036&lt;/AppDomain&gt;
  &lt;Source&gt;System.ServiceModel.Activation.ServiceParser/17864371&lt;/Source&gt;
  &lt;ExtendedData xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2006/08/ServiceModel/StringTraceRecord"&gt;
  &lt;VirtualPath&gt;/BI/DataService.svc&lt;/VirtualPath&gt;
  &lt;/ExtendedData&gt;
  &lt;/TraceRecord&gt;
  &lt;/DataItem&gt;
  &lt;/TraceData&gt;
  &lt;/ApplicationData&gt;
  &lt;/E2ETraceEvent&gt;

  <p>So the C:\ directory is filling with rubbish traces. I've installed WCF&amp;WF samples, and maybe that caused this. Can you help me on this; to find out which application is doing this?</p>
