Dear Evolution folks,
could you please point me to some resource describing or tell me the
purpose of `~/.local/share/evolution/addressbook/system/log.0000000001`
is?
It is 10 MB big.
Thanks,
Paul

It's created by the Berkeley database which we use to store address books. The
database stores transaction logs there and it can probably be used to recover
the database in case of corruption.

The database engine preallocates 10 MB when the log file is created probably to
provide better performance and ensure there's always enough disk space to
store the transaction. There is nothing you can do about it (at least from
Evolution). 10 MB is not much these days though....
Cheers,
Dan
