Some months ago, I started to use PHP 8.0 with Wampserver64 (see https://wampserver.aviatechno.net/ for downloads) and after an update, all local projects started to be very slow, and at the same time I also got "disk full" alerts.
Using the program TreeSize Free (excellent German Program that shows the size of every directory), I located a directory with inflated size : C://Wamp64/tmp
That directory was full of files with .cgrind extension. Gibebytes, Gigabytes, Gigabytes and more Gigabytes of them, thousands of such files.
A quick search for the file extension led me to xdebug being the likely culprit. The web said xdebug would write such files if the option "profile" was added in php.ini
But there was no profile option.
It turned out to be a bug in the installed xdebug version. I downloaded a new version of xdebug here : https://xdebug.org/download
and after installing it, the problems were gone.
