Hi, does anyone know how to stop Ableton Live from generating annoying usage report files? Files that clog up the SSD and need to be removed manually. These are generated regardless of whether you have the "send usage data" set to off in preferences.

I am also not talking about blocking Ableton Live with a firewall either, I am concerned with the generation of useless files.

(on Windows, but advice for Mac might be useful too)

 

Seems like a Bug according to their Knowledge Base it shoudn't be like that: (Are you on Legit or Cracked Ableton?)

"As of Live 8.3, the software can send usage data to ableton.com. It does so only if "Send Usage Data" is turned on, which can be done in Live's Licenses/Maintenance Preferences.

If an internet connection is established the software transfers the data to ableton.com at start up and will not affect the performance in any measurable way afterwards.

If it is turned off, the software will not collect or transfer any data."

It happens on both. No data is being sent to Ableton, but files being generated. Various versions of Live 11.

Can anyone confirm no files being stored (Users/xxxyyyy/Roaming/Ableton/Live Reports/Usage)?
