Bug description

I currently have 600MB of logs in my .config/Nextcloud/logs/ directory. There are 132 log files from today.

Not sure if this is related to the failed migration from ~/.local/share/Nextcloud/ (#6201).

Steps to reproduce

The desktop client is started on login and runs successfully.

I cannot remember that I had 600MB of logs in any directory.

Additional info

I cannot attach the debug archive, as it has 650MB, i.e. I guess it includes the complete set of logs...

Same problen here
kubuntu 22.04 LTS, Server nextcloud 29.0.1, client 3.13.0
Logs have many "info" records witch are not usefull in normal use, and not see the ways to decrease to warning or ...
Still not understand wy logs are in ~/.config/Nextcloud/logs/ instead of /var/logs for rotation.
I thought it was a setup question and asked it here https://help.nextcloud.com/t/dealing-with-clients-logs/186062/2
But without answer, it has consquences as a bug.
I hope for a solution ...
