Same here. My 120Gb SSD just filled up. Good thing I'm an advanced user
and I could manage to find the offending folder. A newbie would just
need to give up. The harddrive analyzer would not give any info (maybe
because the disk was full).

In my case, it was unity7.log, which was about 50Gb.

Is there any way to completely stop the upstart logging? Shouldn't that
be the default for regular users? This seems like a real bug.

Logrotate is installed here, and I'm running Ubuntu-14.10 (upgraded from
older version for, well, close to 10 years now :-) ).

Title:
  ~/.cache/upstart takes up around 70GB of space due to unity and
  mediascanner

Status in “mediascanner” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  I just noticed that ~/.cache/upstart/ folder on my computer is taking
  up 69GB of space. Upon further investigation, I found out that
  mediascanner.log and unity-panel-service.log take 12GB and 54GB of
  space respectively.

  I'm not entirely sure if this is related to upstart as I had removed
  logrotate package because of a conflict.
