moodle vericite plagiarism plugin duplicating file inside moodledata folder

hey guys,

i have VeriCite, plugin on our moodle, and inside moodle folder i have a folder called "plagiarism" this folder is currently at 210GB and growing, at a 30GB per day rate, so i went to have a look inside and looks like there are about 100 different files that keep duplicating itself over and over again, with the EPOC time in front of the file name.

Does anyone knows WTF is going on? and if it's safe to delete those files?

The files are all student assignments submitted to moodle.

I'm looking on the settings for the plugin and there aren't many, pretty much enable or disable.

Any help would be really appreciated.

Regards,

dan

you should probably ask vericite for help - but  I'd guess they are log files - possibly related to this line in their code:

https://github.com/vericite/moodle-plagiarism_vericite/blob/master/lib.php#L645

It is quite common for 3rd party plugins that integrate with external systems to implement their own logging functions but forget to implement a clean up process.
