Ok, before rebooting, I just removed the offending file. It is growing
at a rate of 1Gb every 10s or so. I will try logging out and in, and see
if the log is still growing continuously ...

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

Status in Unity:
  New
Status in “mediascanner” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
