Hi,

As I was going through some cleaning on my SSD I realised that I have a file "java_error_in_idea.hprof" that is ~3GB...

1. Is it ok to simply delete it ?

2. How come this file can get this big ?

3. Is there something that I can do to cap it ?

Thanks

1. Yes.

2. This file contains the memory dump of the IDE process when it runs out of memory.

3. Reduce the heap size or disable capturing OOM snapshots by removing the -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError VM option.
